The world's most accurate space-based thermometer has suffered a mission-critical anomaly only two months after the release of its first images.

Let me guess. Cooler failure?

Stunningly useful data!

Glad to read that the satellite was insured and can be quickly replaced.

Even better that it can be quickly replicated by 10x to get wide coverage with that kind of data.

I guess it couldn't take the heat...

A fairly cheap 1x1 meter satellite that can resolve details down tona few feet? I can think of a customer who would pay 100x as much for those things and toss them up by the dozens and it's not a city planner. Very few nations could actively track dozens of objects that small so it would be impossible to know when a thermal camera was passing overhead (and with enough of them on the right orbits their would *always* be a thermal camera overhead).

Modern peer nation war is going to involve terrible attrition for everyone. No one will be able to hide anywhere, at anytime.
