There is a fascinating talk on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H62hZJVqs2o It’s rare thing to see system working for so long completely remotely. Worth watching!
I’m usually curios about how did it happen. What kind of choices there made to make that project possible. There are few things in this talk that can be applied in many domains (well, not everyone can build a spaceship ;)).
“Don’t make engineering choices which could limit the lifetime of a spacecraft.”
Also, there are 3 main design principles which helped this project last that long, and which I think can be applied to other systems as well:
1. Reliability
2. Redundancy
3. Reconfigurability
