14:23 UT At long last, we have new batteries in the Ant 13 solar power station. Presumably Ant 13 will no longer lose power every night, so it should be available every day barring some other cause of downtime. The batteries at Ant 12 will also be replaced in a day or so, and the Ant 2 Az drive will be fixed this week also. That will solve the known problems aside from the continuing DPP crashes (and occasional schedule hang-ups).
