Very cool! Now if only I had a satellite to use it with... How much demand would there be for this type of offering?
Finally true cloud computing /ducks/
But there are no clouds in space! Unless your particular spacecraft is flying through the Oort cloud I suppose, but surely there's not so many of those satellites out there that would make it worthwhile for AWS to start an entire service for that?

I guess the idea is that if the connection weren't encrypted you could listen to anything out there (like satellites used for transmitting weather information to ships at sea).

There is a fairly narrow cone you would need to be in to intercept the data but if its intelligence related then it’s definitely encrypted thanks to export laws. ITAR and EAR https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption
As a constructive counter example, there are plenty of free services you can tune into.

There are no “export laws” requiring encryption of satellite transmission data. Export laws wouldn’t apply anyway. As a constructive counter example, there are plenty of free services you can tune into.

Usually the export laws and restrictions (ITAR) refer to the technology used to launch the satellites, not the data they downlink.
But if you had the key, you could also use encrypted satellite data.
(Edit note: the parent changed their text to say intelligence data, which is obviously not what I was talking about)

Some might be encrypted, but I don't think they are all encrypted: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-receiving-noaa-weat...

Of intelligence data there is. Read up on ITAR and EAR. So you don’t think that the satellites AWS will interface with will be facing earth with sensors?
