Forgive me if I don't cry if the next one doesn't work either. All the history of talk about opportunities, but did anybody get a shot at a new role?
How much money do you have to make before it doesn't matter anymore? Here's another $10M for your trophy room. Good job!
the articulating arm, made by Northrup Grumman, for the reflector failed to fully deploy hence 10% performance vs 100% if it actually worked. This part was used on Hubble space telescope but at a smaller size. NG can no longer claim 100% success rate of the arm on their website.
They spun VS3-1 to use centrifugal force to get it to deploy further but that also failed.
They have identified the issue with NG and are applying the fix to VS3-2 and VS3-3.
NG should be offering all the laid off engineers jobs with them for this fiasco. Boy would I love to see the test results of the arm post integration... who forgot the WD-40?
Anyone have a better link to video? I keep just getting ads when I paste link into you tube. Thanks
That guy at 1:25 should be held accountable for the schedule slips and cost overruns of VS3...yet he is still employed????
Let’s hope all of their future satellites fail.
Do they know what went wrong with the last one?
