Not according to this article: "the refueling vehicle would dock at the target satellite’s apogee-kick motor, peel off a section of the craft’s thermal protection blanket, connect to a fuel-pressure line and deliver the propellant"
I don't necessarily disagree with you but when Israel invaded "well-off Lebanon" in 1982 it was already 7 years into a civil war. The Israeli invasion may have pushed them farther "into ruin" as you say but they were on that path already. Your selective memory does not help your cause.
I'm not familiar with what is used in Antarctica but satellites in disuse do not loose altitude so much as they orbits get inclined with respect to earth's equatorial plane. This is natural tendency that has to be constantly corrected. This corrections require fuel that eventually runs out.
10.3 broke PPTP which I need to connect to my ISP (via cable), now they added an option to disable encryption (apparently MPPE) and that fixed it. For connecting in 10.3.3 I had to use a shell script but now it works from the GUI too.
making two complete rotations every day They're not even geosynchronous, much less geostationary (their orbital planes have a 55degrees inclination relative to earth's equatorial plane).
Thank you for the info. I found this explanation on the launch window and the reasons they mention do not seem to apply to geo satellites. Also the wikipedia mentions "For trips into Earth orbit most any [launch] time will do". I suspect that the launch window for geo launches has more to do with weather and/or coordination than with orbital mechanics.
I understand that for some missions there are launch windows (interplanetary probes, space rendezvous), but I wonder why does the launch of a geostationary satellite limited to a time window? I would assume that the spot where you want to place the spacecraft stays 'stationary' relative to the launch site? What am I missing? Thanks
Before there was the evolution theory and creationis it was the debate about the place of the earth in the universe which the church insisting that everything in it turned around the earth. When it was proved not to be right the church had to admit that it was wrong. A person, a Human being had to admit that the previous interpretation was wrong. Could it be that they are wrong on this too? would they admit it if they thought they were wrong?
Doppler effect on light... apparent frequency increases when approaching the wave source... the opposite of the red shift observed in stars moving away form us because of the universe expansion's... got it now?
One day the cow in a small village stopped giving milk. So the villagers take the cow up the hill to the mathmetician living up there. They tell him the problem, and he goes back inside his house. The villagers can see him paceing back and forth in his study, and scribbling formulas on his black board (it was s long tim e ago), and finally he comes back out side. The villagers all gather around as he holds up his hands for silence:
Assume a spherical cow, radiating milk isometrically...
Not from computing but from telecomm, the assumption that one day we would all have ISDN lines to our homes and that 128 kbps would be more than enough bandwidth. Now there's talk about all telephone being VoIP phones within 10 years. I don't buy it. The whole iridium fiasco: Thousands of people would carry brick-size phones and pay $$$ per minute.
The wikipedia entry for 'shock sites' has some info on this. Choice quote: "according to some sources he is an Italian man who has been practicing anal expansion for years, as a hobby."
The latest issue of American Heritage of Invention & Technology Magazine has a couple of great articles about their first flights. They did it more than once and under different conditions and they made it public only after they felt that it would be clear to all that it was a real powered flight.
Interestingly it turns out (according to the 2nd article which is not online) that they patented their control system and tried to prevent anyone from making a plane that could be controlled in 3 axes (or something like that, it wasn't the most intereseting part) after something like 5 years they got out of the airplaine bussines, but they kept prducing the engines. Their company was later bought by their archrival Glen Curtiss.
How can you not love a magazine that has a whole article on the story of the Phillips screwdriver?

You're right, and the term is used in SATCOM in that sense too since many multiple access schemes use burst transmissions. So if you want to troubleshoot on of those (the RF part at least) you'd want to transmit a Continuos unmodulated signal (or Wave). It's easier to locate in a spectrum analyzer than a 100 milliseconds long burst
I don't think that in this case CW has anything to do with Morse code. It's simply an unmodulated signal (only the "carrier") probably being used to troubleshoot. The frequencies mentiones seem like 'normal' Ku-Band down link frequencies, and the poster specified their polarization (Horizontal and Vertical), the telemetry becaon AFAIK are transmitted using circular polarization.
" In the films script the word "gigawatt" is spelt "jigowatt". Gale and Zemeckis had been to a science seminar and the speaker had pronounced it "jigowatt".
When I saw it back in 85 with subtitles it was written that way.
I think that he meant that while it is obvious that people that are laid off will be pissed off regardless if it is a robot or a human that took his job, the process or substituting jobs with robots doesn't get criticized by society and here as much as the outsourcing of jobs to 3rd world countries, even togh the motiviation and end results are very similar (lower the cost, maximize profits).

It closed firefox and told me it had to enable IE extensions, but then it relaunched firefox and it's working fine with it. Pretty Cool

Right. My mistake on the grammar.
I was trying to point out that 'old' satellites do not fall down but rather get "inclined" (THEIR orbits that is).

I love your iSight idea, it's brilliant! If I had one I would try it just for kicks.

You're right... it should be isotropically. Like in EIRM (Effective Isotropic Radiated Milk).
