The recent events are dramatically. Our two ground stations are almost inoperable and thus our yet only way to interact with COMPASS-1 is through the tremendous support of DK3WN (http://www.dk3wn.info), who is generously helping us with the mission operations.
A few days ago however, a hard-reset of the satellite had occurred, which brought the satellite back into the following vicious circle: Once the heater is being switched on, the battery power drops drastically, which causes another hard-reset. This goes on and on. The only chance to recover the satellite is to avoid the activation of the heater. This can be done by adjusting threshold values.
