Theoretically

So it’s generally a very conservative software stack and process.

Yes, but that sort of process promotes non-adoption of techniques and processes that could increase robustness but are shunned due to pessimistic conservativeness

No, we tape it to the table, duh. But it’s annoying when the tape covers the spacebar!

Hah. I don’t disagree that money is not well used, but trust me, replacing those satellites is no small endeavour on many levels: Industrial capacity, launch capacity, workforce capacity, cost, will…

I’m a software engineer in space and the things I’ve heard are astounding. Basically space software as a sector is super backwards and operated under a “We’re too far away to be hacked” mentality for way too long. Thankfully, that is changing, and the EU Space Act mandates cybersec in some cases

Do you have some B€ to spare?
