The REAL obstacle to SPSS

Your attachment didn't show up on Yahoo. Perhaps you can load it into
the files section.

Alternatively, you can model orbital motion. Place the sun on one side
of the diagram. Place the Earth in the middle. Draw a circle around
the Earth to represent Geosynchronous Orbit where the SPS will be.

The side of the Earth facing the Sun will have daylight. So the solar
cells will be facing the sun, but the antenna will be facing the Earth.

The side of the Earth facing *away* from the Sun will have nightfall.
So the solar cells *and* the antenna will be facing in the same
direction, towards the Sun and the Earth.

My point is that your usage of the word *behind* is relative, and not
fixed as it would be on Earth. Therefore, to move weapons to
continually stay behind the SPS will require some effort.
