CUT -----------------
Lets look at AO-7 Old technology still works except period of time (long ...) when chemical battery was short circuit. I think that new projects were and are too complicated. Too many devices in limited space of space-craft, too many experiments. Maybe if more attention has been focused on critical parts ... sorry I am not an expert but it is my opinion - simpler but more heavy duty, more resistant on high overload during lift.
