Yeah the hard part isn’t the parts, it’s the testing and qualification that’s worth the money.

It was used to put down some thin film RF attenuators, thus the ground lifted and attenuation was lost (slightly), possibly affecting an AGC loop. Had to go back and rework units that were already mothballed for launch, or else (possible) latent failures. I’m glad I no longer do that shit; couldn’t pay me enough. I had nightmares about shit like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA-19#/media/File%3ANOAA-N'_accident.jpg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA-19#/media/File%3ANOAA-N...
