Vman; Just like a kids toy. The more you use it the faster it runs down and not using it will only result in a 'strengthing' of the batteries to some point, but eventually it is kaput. I dont know about the 601's ability to start back up from no power, but I would assume it is extremely limited. Most sats I have been associated with have very limited power stores and one of the first and most time critical events once on-orbit is solar panel deploy. One sat, they were talking of sliding the launch day to give them some more time in orbit to deploy the arrays before the sat when into eclipse. Pretty funny comment <Although Hughes is not contesting this analysis, the satellite manufacturer proposes to undertake certain tests in an attempt to recover some of the charging capacity. In Hughes' opinion, these tests represent an extremely low risk of further damage to the spacecraft. > Ha further damage! that's like the last cigarette before a firing squad! Gee just what Loral needs more bad industry news. Was Loral beat up yesterday due to the Echostar announcement? Jeff Vayda
