🛰️ — Satellite train : deep-space exploration security
From an early 2024 board
The idea here is to build satellite trains for deep-space (space beyond the Moon) similar to repeaters in a wired network, this could have several advantages, such as :
Renew signal in case of intensity or quality loss, and ;
Have a new probe working if the first one is down (think of a "Voyager B" behind Voyager 1 to take its place in case of malfunction).
Each probe passes the signal to the following one like :
3→ 2 → 1 → Earth
It could be particularly useful for inter-stellar space exploration.
