Thousands Satellites in 'Space' - no camera? what would they see

beside hubble which only look at deep space only and isis which seem seem glued to looking back at a globe section, am surprise how hard it is too find a live feed, considering how many thousands of satellites are out in 'space'.

nasa makes a big deal to finally release one satellite camera still:

www.nasa.gov...

what about the 2 crafts isreal then india crashed earlier this year, no images transmitted off million dollar equiptment before the demise over moon or was it mars? wherever; same for china craft breaking up during re-entry, no image. just a detailed storytime narrative, always.

nor of SpaceX Starman/Tesla, the current meteor shower, Halley's tail, etc. niet, zilch, nada?

how come?

a reply to: vnski
the official explanations will be: lens flare, curvature of the Earth, standard anomalies etc.. etc..
or basically
Move along folks, nothing to see here... literally!

I ask the same questions every time bro. People never really seem to want to discuss it like they used to.

a reply to: vnski

Need to know basis only.

Or need to see basis only.

Same story with microscope on Mars.

Lot of Phoenix Mars Lander microscope pics online. Not good enough to look for life though (they say).

Highest Resolution View Ever From Mars Comes From Phoenix Lander

Now for some reason (size and weight per NASA) we can't send an electron microscope to Mars.

First of all, most satellites are not scientific satellites, they are commercial, private satellites, mostly for communications.

Second, even those satellites that are gathering photos of the Earth do not have "live feeds", the photos are downloaded from Earth, usually at specific dates.
After processing, they are sent to the Planetary Data System, from where anyone can download them.

No, you are making it a big deal, that photo was released four years ago and it was only important for NASA because it was the first one coming from that satellite.

Also Nasa recently shut down only live feed from ISS in HD resolution.
And what happened with that promise from Nasa about broadband comunication with the Moon?

Launching a payload into orbit is, still, very expensive.

That means that every gram of payload MUST serve the intended purpose of the satellite of which it is a part. A camera or other “observational equipment” mounted to a satellite not designed or intended to for that specific purpose would just be “dead weight” on that satellite.

Kind of like carrying a bag of cement in the trunk of your car all summer when it really doesn’t do anything but weight the car down and cut your fuel economy.

Really wish people would study the science of things like this before posting their inane theories.

If you aren’t going to trust science, you really don’t have any basis upon which to place your faith in your own “facts” either.

Their stupid one step at a time policy.

backwards
though?

a reply to: LookingAtMars

Yeah, but, ROCKS..
Its been how long from first photo from another planet, 50 years? and all were seeing today is stupid rocks..
I cant comprehend their thinking process

You know what?
I think they already have that tech out there, selfish SOBs

The hula girls are on strike, so no pics. Sorry. Or maybe ROCKS is all they've got up there. It's like taking pictures of the ocean and complaining all you can see is water.

Of course, that's why we need microscopes and all tech that comes with it for looking into microorganisms

What ?
Most likely 99.9% of the "thousands"(I would say more like 10s of thousands) of satellites are mere communication relays and GPS.
So , what now ?

Ok so yeah I was quickly reading this thread before I used the bathroom but I had to run back and reply
I misread the last word as "microorgasm"

sorry but I almost peed myself running to the bathroom after that.

what a title "microorgasm on mars" it's only a little dirty...😲😲

Well they are little green men.

So they can look at tinier rocks.

Where did you lost your explorer's spirit as a human, mate?

You can still get broadcast from the ISS.

And what happened with that promise from Nasa about broadband comunication with the Moon?

What promise would that be?
