    Curious why the back up power didn’t come on till 90 minutes later though… seems like to me a long time if you’re supposed to be in constant communication with a crew aboard a space craft.

      The backup is in Colorado. You keep your primary and secondary at two different geolocations in case of an emergency. 90 minutes to bring a system online and communicating is pretty good.
