Reverse search over a typed spec layer: pass a category and engineering requirements, get every catalogued item grouped as A (meets all stated requirements), B (fails a named requirement, both figures quoted) or C (could fit, data missing). Verdicts cite the datasheet page. Omit parameters you do not care about. Categories: reaction-wheels, star-trackers, obc-computers, batteries, radios, solar-panels, propulsion, sun-sensors, magnetometers, magnetorquers, imus-gyros, gnss-receivers, eps, deployers, thermal, antennas, sdr-modems, cameras, structures, platforms, ground-stations, sadm, tanks-valves, separation-systems, pointing-mechanisms, test-facilities (environmental test labs — items are companies: test, shaker_min_kn, tvac_min_m, specimen_min_kg, emc_min_m). The answer is compact: group A in full (up to 25), groups B and C — the first 10 with the reason, plus counts and the fields most often unpublished in C; page with group and offset.
