Or just send a ship out to retrieve, repair, and release it.
I’d like to see some math on how long it would take a fully orbit refilled Starship to reach it and return.

I wonder if they can remote fix it, like block of the damaged ram, via code injection.

for the cost of doing that, it’d probably be better to invest the time and resources in a new satellite all together. it’s kinda the same dilemma as the Wait Calculation

Nah they’re gonna have to send somebody out there
SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Maybe there is already somebody out there, who is manipulating the signal. 👽

FWIW, the voyager probes have 69.63 kB of ram to work with.
