So, What caused IA-7 to crash? |
|
|
Early reports indicated a power problem but, logically speaking, neither
Intelsat or Loral engineers were able to diagnose or make onboard repairs to
the power grid. What these engineers could do was send commands (data)
attempting to restore communication. When other code based systems are
initialized, default code is restarted which should provide a fresh platform
for reprogramming.
Why do I raise these issues? What if IA-7 fell victim to a very
sophisticated hacker? Perhaps a disgruntled former employee? Perhaps a
terrorist?
I know, here goes yet another conspiracy. One things for certain, had this
event been caused by a bug in the original software, chances are great that
it wouldn't of laid dormant for 5 years prior to crashing the bird.
Perhaps someday we'll get some straight answers as to what really happened
to IA-7...

Ive always said a good terrorist would first kill our communication sats
before attacking. If they could do that they would have a free ride in to do
anything they wanted. We would lose most of our communication thru these
losses.....maybe a test run for the bad guys???

The various rumours over in starband.general posted from various sources
are:
1) there was an electrical short
2) it was hit be a meteor
2) it was hit by space junk
3) it drifted out of its slot in the orbit
4) it got hit somehow by ground based directed energy weapons during secret
testing that went awry (there was a link to that one but the link is not
working)
5) And of course, from this NG, it was the heinous work of evil doer
hacker-terrorists.
Now of those, those are the perils of any satellite based system, no VSAT
provider or DirecWay is going to have any immunity from any of that stuff,
and when it happens, it happens.
There are two that seem to me could recur: the electrical short, and the
drifting from orbit. We may never be told exactly what happened with the
electrical short, if thats even true, but these satellites do apparrently
move around within a 100 mile area, because of gravitational influences of
sun, moon, etc. Periodically they get so far out and have to be corrected
with bursts from their thrust rockets. Eventually, the satellite will run
out of gas.. |

It about had to b e a power failure. If you look back in the post on
starband general you would see that there were intermittant losses of
service for a week or so before the big crash. My guess is that they saw it
comming just couldnt stop it in time.
