One of\nthe main stumbling blocks has been getting its lasers to work in a\nvacuum, but recent tests on the satellite show that the vacuum or\ntemperature of space won't get in the way of Aeolus measuring Earth's\nwinds.\n\n[ANS would like to thank the European Space Agency for the above\ninformation]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAll-in-one Service for the Space Station\nQuick access to space, high-speed data feed and a unique vantage\npoint are the selling points of a new commercial venture on the\nInternational Space Station. Its name is Bartolomeo, and its\nversatile design allows for many mission types at competitive prices\nfrom next year.\n\n[ANS would like to thank the European Space Agency for the above\ninformation]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSally Ride EarthKAM Space Camp's 60th Mission is open for\nregistration.\n\nThis be will EarthKAM's 60th week-long mission and the first of\n2018!

X-Band (8.4GHz) is the primary band of discussion but\nPaul also talks briefly about S and Ka reception equipment and\nantennas.\nYou can receive signals from spacecraft in excess of 1 billion Km\nwith\na modest size dish in your garden.
