About this book
A solenoid on a communications satellite sets a test engineer against the man who designed it in this science fiction story from Analog, June 1963. Mike works in a lab for a company called COMCORP and has found ways to make the part fail. His superior, Dr. Fred Stone, tells him that the designer, Paul Cleary, blames Mike's test procedures, and reminds him that Cleary is a year or so from retirement. The magazine teaser says the real trouble with satellites is how hard it is to repair even a simple fault.
