    I wonder if they’re developing without an automated test suite.

      You’d think (hope?) that a program like this is constantly running unit testing and software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop regression testing.

      Someone on a different site was speculating that the OFT-2 automated undocking and deorbit flight software can’t deal with the failed thrusters and new duty cycle and heating limits. That feels plausible.

      Nothing would surprise me at this point. This is the same company that outsourced the 737 Max code.
