From TFA, this bird is the 2nd in this "next generation" of satellites. The first one also failed because either "a meteoroid impact or a wiring flaw that led to an electrostatic discharge following heightened solar weather activity."

That's a pretty specific flaw to then just write it off to a meteor.

So they are 0 for 2. Does not instill confidence in this "next generation" at all.

“Either a strike from a meteor, OR this highly specific wiring problem. Could be either! ” is actually pretty funny
