ESA, could you please tell us why you're so concerned about this and who told you about this event.
Are you allowed to talk about it, and if no, why?



I'm concerned because everyone I work with is concerned. At first, I thought it was just a matter of protecting satellites, but last week I learned that the emergency goes well beyond that.

Please note that I am myself not a technician or controller.

My own head of department told me about the crisis. Many at the ESA are still in denial.
