Geostationary orbit is a lot further away. Presumably that's an issue for acquiring ADS-B signals.

- deutronium 10y agoSorry I'm not sure what you mean, as I understand it, the ADS-B signals are just being acquired with a receiver on the 'boat' and then relayed via satellite.
- jpalomaki 10y agoThey have two different things. One is the boat that is relaying the signals via satellite. Another one is a satellite that is directly capturing the signals (if I understood the link below correctly). https://blog.flightradar24.com/blog/tracking-flights-with-satellite-based-ads-b-receivers/ https://blog.flightradar24.com/blog/tracking-flights-with-sa...
- deutronium 10y agoOh gotcha sorry, I misunderstood that link
- CPLX 10y agoMy understanding was that those were two distinct methods they were evaluating not one combined method.
