howwierd: If they're using new graphene ballonets, it won't be leaking helium at all...perhaps that's what "remains inflated" means. Maybe they're doing leakage tests while it sits there?
Weather-wise, the temperatures at N2S2 are just starting to approach temps similar to what would be found in Afghanistan, so we just have to wait 'til the full spectrum of temps are reached and tested in.
Regarding testing of various ISR equipment from other companies, it would seem logical to me, given the economics and logistics, for a company to coordinate testing their equipment with exhibiting same at the Las Vegas ISR conferences/conventions, so that schedule may, to some extent, determine the Argus One testing schedule, IMHO.
