Two of the German military's new spy satellites appear to have failed in orbit
- blackeyeblitzar 2y ago> Shockingly, the German publication says that its sources indicated OHB did not fully test the functionality and deployment of the satellite antennas on the ground. This could not be confirmed. Wow. > This setback comes as OHB is attempting to complete a deal to go private—the investment firm KKR is planning to acquire the German space company. OHB officials said they initiated the effort to go private late last year because public markets had "structurally undervalued" the company. Seems about right. Usually companies become worse for their customers after acquisition but private equity.
