clsage Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Because it has cross genre potential, I am posting this here: http://www.thirdage.com/news/intelsat-galaxy-15-zombie-satellite-brought-back-life_1-1-2011 Just one possibility: The reason the satellite went dark was that, just like with one of the "Scoop" series of satellites in the late 1960's, a micrometeorite impacted it. And like the Scoop in question this micrometeorite had a passenger. But unlike the Wildfire incident, this passenger took a little over 8 months to regenerate itself.... -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
