How do you summarize how unsafe orbit is? This is where I get to tell you about my new favourite forced astronomy acronym, which I spent quite a while thinking about.
We needed a metric. I originally wanted to do something like "Kessler Countdown" or "Kessler Clock" but this isn't a countdown […]

#nerdalert #smd #helpneeded #electronics #fixer #repair Has anyone got a steer on what this is, I’m drawing a blank. It’s on the power supply board for a heating system. The DF04S that feeds it is blown, so is a 78M05 nearby (as well as 3 opto isolators). Suspect a lightning strike.
