I watched that mess as it went down. I have a curiosity on another topic kind of related to the communications discussion if you don’t mind. Are you at all knowledgeable with Sat bent pipe technology?

I have a project in mind but need some input from someone who is better versed than I am on how much up/down capacity and etc. can be utilized through a couple satellite bent pipes. If not would you know someone who might?

What I know about the bent pipe is this: https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/satellites/marco-demonstrate-that-cubesats-can-get-the-job-done-in-deep-space I assume it's an active system to convert frequencies and amplify. Are you planning your own deep space mission?
