RE: One Bit News - Technology - Issue 12
This launch is a first successful test for the private company, which put three other commercial satellites into orbit at the same time. On the site of the Etoile de l'Humanité, it is possible to follow the trajectory of this mirror ball of space, which is currently about 500 km above our heads. It will not stay up there all the time: Rocket Lab relies on nine months before it starts to lose altitude and eventually get lost in the atmosphere.
The initiative is not only adept, especially among astronomers who need darkness to best carry out their observations.
Hi @redouanemez
That's right. It's quite frustrating to edit out all the lines caused by satellites in images of the night-sky.
Cheers, @erlendgroseth
