“Someone moved the UK’s oldest satellite and there appears to be no record of exactly who, when or why.”
Skynet-1A launched in 1969 over east Africa and now sits 36,000km above the Americas, moved by a thruster burn nobody logged. The incomplete records suggest the Americans held the controls when Oakhanger lost sight of it in June 1977. Nobody parked it in a graveyard orbit, so a dead half-tonne British military satellite drifts through other people’s traffic at 105 degrees West. Britain is still liable for a move nobody wrote down.
