Your math seems to be off. Eagle disappeared due to lack of money to pay for a launch rather than technical problems. This is much better than paying for hardware to sit on the ground. Suitsat 2 and ARRISsat are the same thing so there has been no failure yet.AO-51 is in orbit and working.

I guesswe need to get you on the design/construction team to show the "experts" how to do it.
the experts were very successful with Suitsat 1. Eagle worked out good as well didnt it?
Suitsat 2...dellivered on time ...oh well not so much. ARISSsat or whatever it is...fourth time is a charm
