A Cooling Loop Swap Forced an Eight-Minute Orbital Capacity Cut
A routine loop replacement briefly reduced service capacity and highlighted how expensive small thermal maintenance still is in orbit.

A routine loop replacement briefly reduced service capacity and highlighted how expensive small thermal maintenance still is in orbit.
The network has more redundancy on paper than in practice because too much emergency compute still collapses onto the same ring.
Some compute-ring operators are disclosing reserve heat margin as a confidence signal rather than keeping it internal.
A cluster of heat-management reductions across one compute ring was enough to trigger a broader review of shared operating assumptions.
