yeah, and it would almost have to be a surveillance satellite in the first place, returning the whole thing just as we recover film packs being parachuted back to earth (i'm sure we're still doing that with some of our spy satellites). if a spy satellite fails the public doesn't usually know, unless the whole thing is supposed to come back and the landing part of it is what broke.
