So a deployment platform to bypass the predictably of orbital spy satellites periods at the expense of a significantly larger up front cost of getting all that equipment to orbit?
I must say I’m struggling to imagine the advantage of keeping satellites inside another vehicle instead of just letting them hang out in orbit themselves.
The cost of putting something like that up there in terms of a military asset is so much more expensive than the cheap missile it will take to destroy it. Right now that’s not a good plan with today’s technology.
The largest man made satellite is the ISS, which is around 700 tons.
I don’t know how you are going to get an object into space that is bigger than that without enormous amounts of money. Even with advances in rockets (ie starship) you’d still need many, many launches.
Also, you could just launch a satellite with kinetic kill vehicles instead.
Okay so anything you release is either locked into a similar orbit as the carrier or spends more fuel adjusting orbit than it would just launching a new satellite? Bizarre plan tbh.
yeah and i want free healthcare and a job that wont fire me for going on vacation
