My understanding of the sat count is 72 are up with 7 non-functioning. which leaves 65. The Chinese launch scheduled for tonight will add 2 bring the total to 67 assuming both birds are good. That will give them thier full 66, however, one plain may have 2 holes because they were or did? move a sat out of that plain to one where the demand is expected to be greater. I am not sure if they did or are going to make that move. By the sounds of things, they haven't done it yet because the test next week is supposed to be a full dynamic power up test. In any event, the 8/31 launch should fill any holes. Let's cross our fingers. Next week could be interesting.
