How does a surveillance balloon get the collected data back to where it is analyzed and used? I suspect the data is relayed by satellite (unless there are collection sites within the US). Which Chinese satellites are able to cover the US?
- eddsh1994 4y agoI assume China has global coverage, as the US does?

- idlewords 4y agoIt releases smaller data balloons.
