NOAA-17
NOAA-17 was a weather forecasting satellite operated by NOAA. It was launched on June 24, 2002, in a sun-synchronous orbit, 824 km above the Earth, orbiting every 101 minutes. It hosted the AMSU, AVHRR and High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HRIS) instruments. The satellite was retired in 2013.

gollark: Alternatively, it's *not* power and their amazing optimization™ triggered some kind of exotic microcode bug.
gollark: Or AMD bugginess, I suppose.
gollark: So perhaps some combination of ridiculously "good" code and Intel bugginess resulting in it not power-managing properly could cause some sort of brownout-type thing.
gollark: Well, Intel CPUs underclock(ed) themselves under heavy AVX load.
