Post MH370, ADS-B data is relayed by Iridium satellites:
> Aireon has deployed a space-based air traffic surveillance system for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipped aircraft throughout the entire globe. Aireon is harnessing next-generation aviation surveillance technologies that were formerly ground-based and, for the first time ever, is extending their reach globally to significantly improve efficiency, enhance safety, reduce emissions, and provide cost savings benefits to all stakeholders. Space-based ADS-B surveillance covers oceanic, polar, and remote regions
- closewith 4y agoVery true, although latency is much greater, so you may not get the last (hundreds of) milliseconds, as you would with ground-based receivers.
