During the International ARISS teleconference Sergey Samburov, RV3DR
announced that the ARISSat battery will be charged late July and a  
test of
the system will be conducted on the ISS from 1915 UTC 30 July to about
1200-1400 UTC 31 July. The standard ARISSat-1/KEDR 2m downlink band plan
should be transmitted as well as the FM signal also downlinked on 437.55
MHz.  More information as it becomes available.

Today we are looking at a 3 Aug 2011 date for EVA 29 and the  
ARISSat-1/KEDR
deployment. This is all subject to change.
