That is awfully specific for a pseudonymous uncited post about a spy satellite. I don't think people should believe you.

- taneq 9y agoAgreed. In future when posting detailed technical information about classified military operations, please do so from a verified account and provide sources and reference material. ;)
- techdragon 9y agoI’d say its specific because its a sensible extrapolation based on existing declassified information combined with the small amount of leaked information that has trickled out over the years. While reading about the possible conspiracy that the failure did not happen and it was to cover the launch of a stealth satellite, this was basically the satellite payload I pictured. Based on its role as a high orbit SIGINT satellite it would have a huge antenna, huge antennas are fragile buggers to launch, thus the fancy custom payload adapter.
