Abstract:

My long term goal is to develop and demonstrate a global two way datalink for collection of environmental data from buoys at sea. The proposed datalink would provide a two way datalink with 10 to 100 times the capacity of ARGOS at a fraction of the yearly cost. This datalink uses existing commercial, geosynchronous satellites.
