Bob is loking for possible suggested uses of the satellites. I have a suggestion (I don't know if its workable or not):
How about uploading the latest satellite keps and using the Transit sats to update the keps for people that are located in areas where they don't have ready access to the Internet like at sea or in places like the Yucatan or remote Africa. You could put a receiver on line with your computer and when the sat is in range download the latest keps. That would give you accurate pass predictions allowing you to work the ham sats or download weather info, etc. w/o needing the Internet to keep the keps up to date. What do you think?
