That is a great explanation. A big thank-you to the folks that made it
happen!

So it sounds like the theory that it was a connector is starting to look
darn good. The one question in my mind is, if they do have to move the
description of the phase center by adjusting the navigation message (I
assume the SV's orbital ephemeris), wouldn't that be a good thing in
terms of keeping the exact position of the SV a bit secret? (Or put a
different way, isn't a miss by 150 meters by a hostile object as good as
a miss by a mile?) And no, I'm not really expecting *that* to be
answered publicly.
