To All, I'm unsure how many saw on the national news tonight that later this year and next where earth is going to be bombarded with cosmic storms of comets,not of the regular size comets,but many very small ones from smaller than a human hair to about the size of a pea. They said it posed no direct danger to us on earth,but could cause wide spread damage to some of the many satellites that are now in orbit,of which this includes communication satellites,military and spy satellites,as well as the satellites used for fixing locations and that aircraft use. Damage of the power panels,and the electronic's will be of main concern. The demand to get replacements in orbit could be where EPEA could play a major part,for a important factor with this possible situation and even under present conditions,is that liquid fueled rockets,including the Space Shuttle, takes a few days from the time the need arises,to when they can launch after fueling up. While EPEA could launch in hours to the next day at most,for it carries a solid propellant fuel,and the rocket would just have to have the satellite[nose cone]attached and could be fired right after the info is fed into the electronic guidance system for required orbit.
