It seems like the core error was in the inertial measurement unit: it would be a common cause between the reaction wheel failures and the failure of the despin burn.

The software correcting the rotation should have been run in a tighter feedback loop so that it would stop making the problem worse. Lots of these subsystems can be tested in a pure software simulator. Esp when it comes to faults.
- sitkack 10y agoThinking about it further, the simulator should consume the logs from the existing system and map those logs from existing simulation runs, use a form of compressed sensing and pattern matching to figure out what is occurring just from the logs and previous simulation runs.
