What an interesting piece of work on RS15 ! I notice that the graphs for 2009 on the 'solar elevation' page predict that RS15 is in, or shortly will be in, a period of permanent illumination. Perhaps another good example of a satellite with working solar panels that would have benefited from some form of hardware to bypass the command and control circuits when they failed and put the satellite into transponder mode.
