How locked down are they? Should I expect to see a hacker conference talk "how i revived a weather satellite"?
Maybe once they're turned off they're irrecoverable?

- sephamorr 1y agoThere have been numerous issues in the past with 'dead' satellites waking back up and activating transmitters again, generally making a mess of the spectrum. Some satellites have pyro-fuses on the power lines from the solar arrays that are fired during passivation to make absolutely sure that the sat doesn't ever recharge and wakeup.
