Scientists work to prevent interplanetary pollution that could pose a threat to life on Earth

"Imagine robotic rovers taking soil samples on the surface of Mars, looking for evidence of past life and instead finding bacteria that had traveled all the way from Earth: the impact on subsequent research would be incalculable."

Clear tonight!

Cams are set up for satellite photos as soon as it gets dark enough.

In other news, I got assigned COSPAR ID 7099 for my ground station! Woo. That gets used in stvid IOD output for the station number.

Image processing tonight is going to use different TLE sources for Oneweb and Starlink sats, which should be more accurate.

Also working on a stvid color theme that is colorblind friendly.

@dj3ei @BNetzA @KJ7OMO I don't doubt the usefulness for it as well as the priority for emergency broadcasts and relays.

Enough people died for this to be instated by #ITU...

That being said we live in the age if #ERIB, #COSPAR-#SARSAT and #Inmarsat so unless radio equipment & tech is being sabotaged like with #MH370 emergency calls and transmissions should get picked up easily.
