Hackers want their own communication satellites in space to overheidscensuur to work. A network of ground stations, communication with the earth, as announced them to the CCC conference.
On hackersconferentie CCC, which this week was held in Germany, made the hackers their plans for a private satellite communication system known. The communication satellites have to communicate with ground stations that people themselves can purchase. A ground station should be around the hundred euro is going to cost you.
With the system of censorship on the internet should be able to be bypassed. The American sopa legislation is an example of the censorship that the hackers want to avoid. That law makes it possible to websites with content that violates copyrights offline, and goes much further than existing legislation.
Or the hackers plan to put into practice, is the question: they will have to collect to satellites in space. In addition, the question arises as to how high the orbit of the earth where the satellites stay, says an expert told the BBC. A low orbit around the earth means that they are orbiting the earth, allowing the creation of a continuous connection difficult.
A higher, geostationary orbit on the earth, and can ensure that the satellites stay in the same spot, but the distance would be a delay in the transmission of signals occur, making the satellites less useful for some internet services.
In the long-term goal, hackers, moreover, even a man on the moon. That would be within 23 years.
