Betcha one of them is actually working just fine.
Good. The world need less spy satellites, not more. Especially now that the fourth reich is on the rise
I’d rather have spy satellites than weapon satellites.
The fourth Reich is rising in the states, if anything.
Strawman
The world is experiencing it. Germany, France, the states, Italy. They alle have the same problem: The rise of fascism.
Germany is experiencing a rise in the far right too, though it hasn’t yet gone as far as in France.
Certainly, I am German myself. Everything that happens in us politics happens here as well some while later. I just didn’t agree with the suggestion that it is Germany again “leading the way”.
The real reason is the russian digital warfare campaign on the West that has been ongoing for years, while our societies are entirely unprepared and helpless against this new type of conflict and have allowed Russia to prop up sycophantic far right parties all over the West, beginning with the trump operation.
spy satellites > spys > conflicts caused by information mismatch
It sounds like it does radar and that it’s the radar antennas at issue, and there’s some separate antenna that they can use to communicate.
Also, a previous satellite of the same design that was manufactured by Airbus worked. So they know the likely system and that it’s a manufacturing problem. They don’t need to design a replacement from scratch, just manufacture it. They have one satellite up. And while their older satellites in the previous constellation are past their design life and aren’t as good, they’re apparently still functioning, and hopefully will for several years.
So it doesn’t sound that bad.
Exactly what a spy satellite would say.
Trust No One.
