So is the power output of the repaired solar array pretty close to
normal? I read that it was somewhere near 97% even before the repair
job.

Also, are there any pictures (close up and distant) of the repaired
array? I actually watched a lot of the repair work on the Nasa streaming
video feed. It was very interesting to see it happen "live."

217 A compared to 220 A.

Scott took some, dunno when they will be released.

Is that per SAW?

What's the total output for that station then?

(and btw, thanks, I hated seeing all these "there's 100 volts", without an
amperage value, that was sort of meaningless to me. :-)

I think that's both SAWs on the 4B BGA, but not sure.

Dunno... since the starboard SARJ is locked, the starboard arrays are
not producing as much power as the port arrays.
