NASA Says Fraudulent Supplier Caused It to Lose Two Climate Satellites, Wasting Over $700 Million
NASA has found its loss of two 92-foot Taurus rockets-as well as the climate-monitoring satellites they were carrying-in 2009 and 2011 was due to a supplier that falsified test data about frangible joints that were supposed to split and release the rockets' fairings, according to Quartz.
