The transponder can be commanded on, but to avoid further degradation of the power system, we would need to manually command it off before it enters eclipse, or take a big risk. If we're feeling brave, perhaps we can look at some transponder operation over a holiday period and use the opportunity to assess the battery / EPS status.
Hello Dave,
Great information on AO-73, and we're glad she's still doing some useful work up there!
We'll see you in Dallas (my QTH) in just a few days. 73,
