I agree with what you're saying. I can give some examples. When the CO2 monitoring satellite OCO failed to reach orbit in 2009, a replacement was built, partly from flight spares, called OCO-2. It was launched about 4 years later and continues to operate. Most of the team remained intact throughout the interim period. Due to the same launch vehicle problem, in a separate launch attempt, the Glory satellite failed to reach orbit. But I don't believe it was replaced in the same way. Some missions are highly successful, and they tend to have successor missions. I suppose most mission teams aspire to this status. The JPL Mars program is an example. A succession of more-capable solar monitoring satellites has been launched by a team including Stanford and Lockheed, which has remained stable over 2 decades now.
