I'd like to type what I read in the newspaper yesterday. It's a letter to the editor in the "Daily Telegraph" in Sydney, Australia on February 5th 2000. Author: Mark Stevenson, Lane Cove. It's long, so I will type the relevant section only. - - - the CSIRO recently developed a new kind of satellite that can quickly orbit Northern Australia at low altitude every 15 minutes. Such a platform would excel in surveillance of illegal immigration and smuggling compared with an expensive coast guard fleet. - - - My opinion is, this person is misinformed about this particular type of satellite, however if someone, perhaps someone from the CSIRO on this mailing list knows about it, they could enlighten us about it.
