24 hours after it comes out of eclipse. It's not under active management. Watch http://www.amsat.org/status/ and it will be easy to tell about when it switches.

It'll switch between Mode A and Mode B reliably every 24 hours when it's in constant sunlight. It'll be in constant sunlight starting September 29th according to DK3WN's Illum program.

So, what's the official status of this Energizer Bunny of the Amateur Sat world?
I know the BATTS are I guess for a better choice of words Dead. So it is running solely on the panels power. And that feat alone is amazing that the panels are still producing power.
So, can anyone tell me, when will it be somewhat ,, well at least as reliable as possible, of knowing when it will be in Mode "A"
