Transponders of this type don't demodulate the uplink signal. They just convert to a different frequency and amplify the downlink signal. You could do the same thing with a C-band satellite, but the hardware to operate in 4-6GHz at >100W is expensive and you need a big reflector. At UHF, you can do it at lower power with cheap parts.
The biggest problem I have found interviewing candidates for sysadmin jobs is determining who is going to be motivated to learn on their own and take ownership of systems. I have had trouble before with employees that need to be told what to do and constantly supervised to make sure they complete a project.
Does anyone have any ideas for screening these kinds of traits? What kind of questions would you ask during an interview, beyond technical questions?
What are you taking about? SPOT-5 is 2.5m resolution. The only sub-meter commerical imagery available right now is from Quickbird-2. Anything else is from aerial platforms or old satellite Russian imagery.
In 1996, the US Congress passed the Kyl-Bingaman
Amendment to the Defense Appropriations Act. That law says that the US government may not
license an American remote sensing company to collect or disseminate imagery of Israel at a better
resolution than what is generally available from remote sensing companies in other countries, i.e. 2
meters.
Don't expect hi-res imagery of Israel. Congress passed a law requiring all commercial hi-res imagery of Israel to be reduced in quality so that its no better than the imagery being distributed by foreign commerical entities. That means 2m imagery of Israel. You can get.5m or 1m imagery of US military bases but not of Israel. I will withhold comment about foreign influence in the US govt, etc.

Agreed. This is not a game; it really is war.
I think you mean remote viewing. Remote sensing is performed every time someone points a camera out of the window.
..you get it
Dicks, pussies and assholes

1. You will have some great shadow-free images of the tops those clouds.
2. Uh, its dark.
However, radar can see through clouds and in darkness.
that's racist
I thought the headline was referring to low earth orbit. DNRTFA.

So do you need a conventional propulsion system to push you you once you are in "hyperspace"?
Then you'd just need a mystical drug made from alien worms to allow you to see into the future for navigation...
This was a real pain in the ass for satellite operators. We had a packed control room at 23:59:59 UTC.
Make sure the UTC offset in your GPS receiver or NTP server is changed from 13 to 14 seconds.
...looks very promising. ;)

There's really no need to use profanity.
...just to make the guy swim, but I probably won't even install it. I'm happy with firefox and it's free.
...ass.
