How much cryogen does Spitzer have remaining in its dewar? Do they know, or are they just waiting to see a temperature rise after complete boil-off? Can't find much info on the website.

Seems like a tech demo mission above all else, and that restoring comm with Spitzer by acting as a relay spacecraft to continue 'warm' operations would really just be a bonus. No attempt would be made to load He or anything else.
