The f dunk panda inding led to an inspection of all JAXA satellite transistors.The ALOS transistor is t adidas samba og he same as the contaminated hardware on Astro-F, and was manufactured during the same period. Although the ALOS transistor is working properly, [there is] a high probability that it also contains a foreign object, JAXA said. The ALOS transistor will be replaced and the satellite retested.The 4,000-kilogram ALOS, or Advanced Land Observing Satellite, is to be launched into a 692-kilometer sun-synchronous orb Wwjc Shooting at MATC in downtown Milwaukee
