We have all enjoyed the posts from the author (SOWL), but I understand Howard being upset with his last post. From a technical point of view, it created a fire of incorrect information that had to be put out and probably caused the sell-off. It appears that the author may be confusing the actual names of satellites with their responsible agencies, etc.. For example: Molniya is a TV broadcast satellite that uses an elliptical polar orbit - with the apogee over the north pole - to service northern polar regions via satellite. Since an equatorial orbit (Clark belt) places antenna elevation angles too low (at or near the horizon) for optimal polar operation (noise generated from the "hot" earth easily enters the antenna main beam when looking horizontal to the earth - it is best to point towards the sky for low antenna noise figure!). Anyway, what Molniya does is place, I believe, 3 satellites in an elliptical polar orbit such that there will be one viewable satellite at or near a position high above the North Pole at any one time thus providing continuous satellite coverage to the northern polar regions. Further, COSMOS is a series of satellites that are nuclear powered in, I believe, all cases. Their missions are classified, or used to be. I remember one such satellite; COSMOS 954, that re-entered the atmosphere and crashed in northern Canada some time back. It caused a great deal of nuclear pollution in the north and resulted in an extremely expensive clean up. It seems that the author (SOWL) had the best of intentions, and was attempting to give us technical information without the technical background. I would hope that he is not discouraged from future posting. I also saw a post a while back regarding "old Russian technology". We must all keep in mind that Russian technology is very advanced ....a good example is MIR. Just my opinion; I am continuing to make my decision to stay long on PLFM from the actual press releases and information that comes directly from PLFM. Carol :-)
