Could this also be another reason for starlink? Elon needs better positional data to develop better autopilot without lidar? Having 1000s of points of reference in the sky could create a better gps?
- oliveshell 7y agoGPS satellites carry multiple synchronized atomic clocks so they can broadcast the stable, precise time signal needed for accurate position-finding. Are Starlink satellites similarly equipped?
- comboy 7y agoCSAC (chip scale atomic clock) seems to be well below $2k, I think they could swallow that. Army would probably be interested in such case. Also, TIL that GPS satellites are not geostationary.
