Two of the German military’s new spy satellites appear to have failed in orbit

Did OHB really not test the satellite antennas on the ground?

@arstechnica Wouldn't be the first time.
Years ago, one of the first launches I worked, we noticed the telemetry we were getting from the satellite kept stopping and starting. And we couldn't command it either; we'd start to send a command, and it would disappear from the screen.
Turned out that the company that designed and built the satellite cut the antennas too short in an attempt to save money.
Multi-million dollar satellite, and we barely managed to save it.
For a few dollars. 🙄
