So now they are going to send engineers to fix/ replace the unit?

Letting a billion dollar piece of equipment go to waste is not very good either.

    There are dozens of satellites, and, o' how ironic that I have mistook this for the reachable ones !

    Cut me some slack, I have been reading nothing but books about coding for the past year or so, okay !?

    Ho !? I didn't know you had it in you ! 😱

    I kind of hoped you would have mentioned any of these: the magnetometer, polarimeter, and the interferometer; or the spectrometer, or the RTG system.
