Actually that doesn’t make sense to me - why would the telemetry vanish? I get wanting more data, but I don’t understand how it would be lost.

- throwawaymaths 2y agoThey want more telemetry events before telemetry events stop due to reentry
- aejm 2y agoThe leaks in question are on the service module of the Starliner spacecraft. This is a separate part of the spacecraft that is jettisoned before the main spacecraft reenters the atmosphere. Therefore, the service module, where all the leaks are that they want to understand better, would burn up in the atmosphere, and be destroyed.
- simonblack 2y agoI get wanting more data, but I don’t understand how it would be lost. If the craft burns up on re-entry due to many possible factors (Angle of descent, speed of descent, uncontrollable trajectory, etc, etc) any evidence of faulty components would be 'disappeared'.
- idiotsecant 2y agoNot everything in a spacecraft is instrumented. They're poking around to figure out what went wrong before they lose the chance. Space is hard and sometimes things don't work. More information is good, especially when you get it basically for free. This story is incredibly sensationalized because it's fashionable and gets clicks right now to spam anything even slightly negative about Boeing.
