There was a call this morning to explain the situation at GMH. From the look of things, it must have been underwhelming. The fact that the DBS 1 is operating on a redundant system is not that reassuring. There are redundant systems all over a sat, but they ideally would NEVER be used. The HS 601 problem may involve a defective part in both the primary and backup systems. We may not get a definitive answer because you just can't go up there and look. It may all be coincidental, and the sats in question will function fine with the redundant systems. Orion 1 has 9 transponders operating in this manner and they have been for awhile. On the other hand, worst case would be a systemic problem affecting all HS 601s. We shall see.
