Amazing work by a tenacious and talented engineer. Great story. (Question: What does his nationality have to do with it though? Seems like an odd addition to the headline.)
Seemed strange to me too. There was another instance of this a few days ago with the article "How British satellite company Inmarsat tracked down MH370" [1]. Is this a journalistic practice?
Also, I guess something like Manchester encoding wasn't use because of the data rate limitations? IIRC Manchester encoding is self-clocking, which seemed like the issue here.
"An Alenia Spazio spokeswoman said that none of the company's officials were available to comment because of a company-wide summer vacation period." Typical Italian... (I'm Italian myself btw)

Scientific funding, however, does. This is one reason why it is crucial that taxpayers can connect with scientific success. For ESA this is problematic because their success gets distributed, consequently most Europeans might not even know it exists.

The French do the same. I see nothing wrong with it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
