Re: i don't like this...
Oh, riiiigggghhhhtt. Hundreds of these things are going to stay up by themselves on auto pilot and maintain station for years at a time.
Besides which, I can just see the RF soup nightmare up there as they all try to use a set band of frequencies at the same time with the TX power required for a decent signal at 12 miles at 900 Mhz and above. Never mind the uplinks.
No wonder they have taken so long to even test this dufus scheme. Seems to be just a bit much when you consider that it would be MUCH easier to just rent tower space. More reliable too in the long run. Less potential for disaster. |

Belvedere Tiburon, CA | Agreed all around. I wasn't saying untethered flight was workable, just that it was what they seemed to be planning.
