How did you manage meaningful attitude control with only torque rods? They would need to big (read: heavy) to be useful — was this just stabilising in inertial frame or active pointing? Mag dipoles in chassis and components tend to lock tumbling satellites into the Earth’s magnetic field. Did you see this? Or did you see atmospheric drag dominate at this altitude?
