Tommey Reed's Satellite Eye In the Sky build.

Hi All,

No, this is not a joke.

How would you like to have a personal satellites around 100,000 feet and allow anyone to rent it per hour to look around to see Space and Earth?

With upper and lower camera you would be able to see live video of your world or space.

Tom

@Tommy,

I admire your "thinking-outside-the-box"  :)

Maybe you're thinking in a different direction but based on your above image I'd expect any propeller drone would hit a logistical limit of around 33,000ft. That's based on how much "lift/pull" can be generated in thin-air.

Here is some info (take it or leave it):

Hi Tom,


The other problem you are going to run into is the FAA.  With the typical overreach of our government in the U.S. the FAA (Foolish Ape Agency) came out with a regulation a couple of years ago that privately owned RC aircraft could no longer fly above 400 feet.  They claim RC aircraft above that height pose a hazard for commercial air traffic.


Sorry about that.

Hi Carroll,

Yes I seen, but you can launch it out in the ocean 12 nautical miles pass the USA boarder.

It can be done.
