Sky & Telescope reports Suzaku (formerly Astro E-2) had a helium leak and the X-Ray instrument has failed. I've noticed its been running late the last few passes (11 s late last night). Too bad about the instruments, but at least this one reached orbit and is a nice bright sat that I can see on its northernmost passes.
