I recall seeing on a program called "Stephen Hawkings Universe" in 1997 on PBS, a sequence where an engineer was interviewed about his participation in building the spacecraft (behind him in the video apparently) for the Planck Surveyor mission (sensitive CMBE mapper). My question is why is it taking a decade to build this device? What is so complex about it? It was only like ~3 years from assembly to launch for WMAP.
