Is the Space Shuttle large enough to "shadow" or interfere with the
transmissions between the surface and a geosync satellite? What about
the proposed Space Station? If so, won't it interfere on a regular
basis? If the shuttle interferes, it would do so fairly rarely, and this
would be tolerable. If the Space Station scrambles the transmissions
that are picked up by some cable system earth station every ninety
minutes, I would think that an interesting court case might result...
