Apologies if posted already but interesting recent article here from Ant61:
The problem with satellites is that if something goes wrong in space, you can’t do anything about it. They become space debris. Ant61 is providing a solution.

"The problem with satellites is that if something goes wrong in space, you can’t do anything about it. They become space debris.
Ant61 is providing a solution. The Beacon is a first-of-its-kind product that sits somewhere between a black box and the space version of a jumper lead."
"The first Beacon was launched on February 27. Ant61 is working on 20 to be launched next year and Askavin hopes it will be “hundreds” following that.
“The more Beacons we have in orbit, the more trust we will get from the community and it will become a de facto standard. Maybe not necessarily the Beacon but a Beacon-like device,” he said.
Ant61’s goal is to create robots that will be able to repair broken satellites in space, like the space version of the NRMA, but that is several years away."
