Space tug MEV1 will tow 901 back up to graveyard orbit, disengage then head onto its next target (currently unknown which bird this will be)So I suspect the 15W tests are a precursor to the I901 retirement seeing as its probably only a year or so until MEV1 lights up and tows I901 away for disposal.</blockquote>
