Older orbital sensors are finding a second life in lower-cost monitoring and niche observation contracts.
Not every workload is allowed to touch the deepest and most thermally stable layers of orbital compute.
High-orbit maintenance works until the wrong component fails in the wrong loop.
The small vehicles that check orbital shielding health are becoming critical to compute continuity.
