    It was literally the little spy satellite that couldn't (make it to orbit).

    They'd ... they'd either retrieve the photo canister from the ground, or, ideally...

    Catch it in the air, using basically the sky hook system, as seen in MGSV.

    Its... the ludicrousness of this system is really only slightly exaggerated in its MGSV portrayal.
