R.I.P. Scout26
What kind of degradation of the spacecraft can there be? It is flying through a near vacuum, so rust and corrosion shouldn't be an issue.
What are the thrusters, compressed air or something?
I still geek out a little on space program stuff. This thing has been zipping through space for better than 40 years and is still functional. Interesting that it takes almost 2 days to send a command and receive a response.
Well, there Oorta be.
