ARRISat-1 was mainly in eclipse over North America since the launch but
starting August 15 the first orbits over NA will be out of eclipse
and if the batteries can hold and the inside temp does not cooked the
electronics we will have a chance to listen and work it at a more
suitable time slot instead having to set the alarm clock in the middle of the
night...Plus we will have the high power.
We all hope for the best but as projected we already exceed the +- 8 days life
expectancy lets say we lived on borrowed time.
