Incidentally, in the early history of spaceflight, it was believed that satellites would have to be huge space stations with astronauts onboard to service the valve equipment. Modern miniaturisation has changed that model of space satellites so much that a satellite can be the size of a bucket and still have all the internal microelectronics to do the job it's been put up there for.
