Awesome work. SAR imagery is notoriously fickle, and it is amazing to see these results from a DIYer.

This is a helpful image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliosphere#/media/File:PIA170...

Agreed. The focal range is something like 90KM to 1400KM based on this image and other off nadir images that have been shared by DigitalGlobe/Maxar, and it really makes you wonder what the focusing mechanism is fully capable of.

No. Countries of the world have been imaging each others satellites for decades. The only thing that has changed recently is that now companies can do this commercially in an unclassified manner. https://blog.executivebiz.com&#x2

The sample distance (SSD) is noted on the GIF, and ranges between 6.5 and 4.6 cm for the images shown here.

I quite like the inclusion of the help needed section. I work for a publicly traded company so I don't know if it has much application for our size, but for a pre-IPO company it seems like a great opportunity to leverage the skills of

Is this distinction why they are often called the Top 3, not the Big 3?

First, the word free is most frequently interpreted as not costing money, which in this case is completely true. Second, your comparison to a false claim by the NYT is absurd. All you had to do was close the tab and move on. I can't im

This varies greatly by area. The Denver/Boulder corridor has been exploding for the last 10 years and they can't build fast enough.

Are you talking about Boeing being complacent and greedy, or SpaceX? I'd agree with the former, but not the latter.

And many merchants either have this priced into their product already, or charge a fee to process a card.

Derp, yes I did mean Boeing. BO pulled out of commercial crew a while back. Thank you for the correction.

It's likely a very very small group, but I am certain there are some ultra high net worth members of HN that are SpaceX investors, either directly through family offices, or indirectly through private equity funds.

I'm wondering if NASA will change their plans for Mark Vande Hei to return on Dragon instead of Soyuz. His return is planned for later this month, so I suppose we'll know pretty soon.

> I do not understand this thirst at seeing a private company monopolising space travel. I don't think the poster your replying to is saying that, nor do I think the market is headed in that direction. Currently, SpaceX has the only

I agree about UAE wanting to keep their cards close to the chest, but I think the choice between NSO/other third party hacking groups and developing in house is an AND statement, not OR. At the end of the day, developing adequate zero

> It sounds to me like the UAE made a decision to stop paying vast sums of money to the NSO group and started throwing money at trying to develop their own similar domestic capability. Porque no los dos?

Episode 100 is specifically about NSO and dives deeper into Pegasus. Highly recommended listening after episodes 98 and 99. https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/100/

I also expected the competition between two (or more) contactors to be the choice, but with BO just now approaching human test flights, I can understand why they selected SpaceX to move forward if they could only fund one system.

One reason that comes to mind is that it would be a totally new use case for Dragon capsules. SpaceX had originally planned them to use propulsive landing on return to Earth, but abandoned that plan in lieu of more traditional water landing

You can get a great education from a state school or community college for less than $30K where I live. Travelling and staying in hostels for 4 years isn't free, and like it or not, a majority of the time employers are going to favor a

Sure, but there is a lot more going on in a university setting - particularly one one campus and learning in person - that results in learning beyond the curriculum of a student's major. While I dreaded the prospect of taking a class o
