I think the laser aiming is the least of the problem areas. The satellites will be in a more or less constant position relative to each other and there are probably non-mechanical ways to aim lasers. I, for one, will be impressed to see how many the "dozens" they

I got into a discussion on Quora about this the other day. Their FCC filing says they'll use 2000mhz of bandwidth for the Satellite to User Terminal downlink.  However many satellites they have, they'll be limited to 2000mhz per geographic area.  If we generously assume 10 bits/hz then that's

Rolm was an interesting beast. They started out selling ruggedized DG gear (Rugged Nova was one of their first products). They took a basic DG minicomputer, and put it into a mil-spec package. None of the components actually came from DG, they built it ground up to take a beating at incredible tem
