Abstract
After five months of faultless operation, the UK satellite (UKS) of the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers (AMPTE) mission (see Physics Bulletin November 1984 p461) seems to have come prematurely to the end of its useful life. On 16 January, the Operations Control Centre at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory failed to detect a signal from the satellite as it came over the horizon.
