Design and maintenance, as categories, are related through their presumed contrasting temporalities. What do we learn about these purifications as they play out over the course of a technological object’s lifetime? Drawing on fieldwork examining the operations of a longstanding spacecraft, Cohn exposes definitions of repair and design through their temporal and affective alignment.
