OK - Charging of the ARISSat-1's battery is scheduled for July 27. And a test this weekend.
Will the battery be charged a second time - before EVA-29 on August 3?
What is the expected/anticipated battery "charge state" to be after the July 30 test? Good enough for deployment without another charge?

Hi Clint,
The battery can run ARISSat-1 for about 6 days on the ISS so it will still be almost fully charged if they run it for just 1 day.
Once it is deployed, the solar panels will charge the battery.
