I was working for Hughes, now Boeing Satellite Systems, for a couple of years doing Y2K remediation. I was writing ground station code that were on VAX/VMS, basically older hardware and software. So that thought did occur to me of satellites falling from the sky. From what I understand, everything worked out ok. There might be only one instance that we know of that was unanticipated when the year roll-over.
