AO-7 - yes

No longer usable under most circumstances, requires constant attention to stay on.

AO-27 - no

AO-51- no

FO-29 ???

Battery issues, requires full or near full illumination for the entire orbit. Not currently operational over the US. May return.

Currently only scheduled for passes while illuminated.
