“In reality, the satellites always experience each other's gravitational effect. If we were very restricted in our observations then we could observe the changes in the semi-major axis to get the ratio of the two masses and then use observations of the closest approach distance to get the sum of the masses, allowing us to solve for each. This is all based on the dynamics of the three-body problem.”
Carl Murray
“We'll develop more satellites so as to form a joint earth observation system and a new-generation regional satellite navigating and positioning system.”
Yuan Jiajun
“We are planning to launch nine satellites this year. The first one, a scientific experimental satellite, will blast off at the end of April.”
Zhang Qingwei
“The DoD has never specifically asked the satellite industry to harden its satellites, because it knows it's not something the industry has to do for its commercial satellites.”
David Cavossa
“What we're doing is fusing together images through the use of multiple satellites. Each satellite has its own view of the Earth, and we're piecing many of them together for a more complete picture.”
Chris Velden
“We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.”
Charles Darwin
“The brain and its satellite glands have now been probed to the point where no particular site remains that can reasonably be supposed to harbor a nonphysical mind.”
Edward O. Wilson
