Re: DirecTV satellite may explode in orbit

Looks like they may have to give it the FR3 treatment....shoot it out into space utilizing the positioning “rockets”.....FR3 was a a C band TV sat that had one that stuck as they sought to get in place (this was the late 70s-early 80s) and became lost. They did find it, if was repeating RF emanating from Jupiter until it crashed into the planet. They won't let it explode before they do something like that, it’s a crowded space and explosions create shockwaves that will disrupt other birds up there. Not that big a deal, these things ARE insured....
