I wonder if it will sit until July?
 
After all the Russians KEDR name reflects the upcoming anniversary of Yuri  
Gagarin's flight into space. That was 50yrs ago on 12th April.
 
So many questions....

until Friday morning. "

Hmmm curious  about a few things but... what impact this "test" has had on 
battery life,  considering the vehicle now "sits" until at least July...
