What's the cost of a space-based detection platform compared to a ground based one, and does it impact whether such platforms get built in the future?
Overall I think its the impact on and complete disregard for radio astronomy that gets be about this. I'm sure you're not allowed to do high-decibel audio experiments next to the founder's house, but regulations prohibiting radio emissions affecting particular pockets of land are up for grabs?
- walrus01 4y agoFCC regulations on what you can transmit legally (and with appropriate category of license, for things like new FM broadcasters and OTA TV stations) in all the VHF, UHF, S and L bands, and part 101 microwave bands are actually quite stringent.
