article_snippet: This made This the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites.
article_snippet: Exactly what has happened to it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites, though, is still not clear, with the temperature spike remaining a mystery.
article_snippet: Part of it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites still seems to be intact, however, as it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites is sending and receiving signals - although Air Force Space Command Told MailOnline said it was 'unrecoverable'.
article_snippet: Speaking to MailOnline, Andy Roake, Chief of the Current Operations Division at Air Force Space Command, said the fault was likely due to it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites reaching the end of it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites operational life time.
article_snippet: In this case we believe it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites was wearing down.
article_snippet: it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites had already exceeded it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites design life three times over providing thousands of hours of weather imagery.
article_snippet: Prior to the power failure, it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites had already lost it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites primary mission capability
article_snippet: and so it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites provided limited operational capability.
article_snippet: In addition, it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites was still sufficiently intact to be sending and receiving signals from Earth, although ‘operators determined that DMSP Flight 13 had suffered damage to the power system rendering it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites unrecoverable.'
article_snippet: Because it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites was no longer used by the National Weather Service or the Air Force Weather Agency, the impact of the loss of it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites is minimal,’ The Air Force told Space News.
article_snippet: We anticipate real-time weather data for tactical users will be slightly reduced without it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites, but it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites data was not being used for weather forecast modelling.’
