They've reinvented Echo-1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Echo
Of course, that one was 10x larger.
What makes this a 10m (band) operation? I expect it would work on the higher bands ...
This one is not a full surface sphere, but a bucky-ball wire frame with about 4 foot thin sides to each polygon making a 10 meter diameter very open structure. SO anything higher in freq just goes right through.
