#2Alright, that's just super cool.

#3Very cool! Now if only I had a satellite to use it with...
How much demand would there be for this type of offering?

#4Looks very interesting. Looks like they use the NORAD ID to get frequency information for the various channels? I wonder what frequencies/bands they will support (since this gets down to the RF hardware on the groundstations)?

#5Finally 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?

#8This is cool but now I'm more concerned in learning how launching micro satellites has become so easy for the masses which would be my opposite reaction normally. Meaning this is not without bad side effects. I watched "in a nutshell" about the end of space in that orbiting debris is becoming an issue as its an exponential threat over time as small debris moving at 20 K mph vaporizes things it comes in contact with, hence more debris, more collisions and so forth eventually creating a death shield to any incoming/outgoing space transport, effectively halting space travel for centuries. Here is that video FYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS1ibDImAYU I don't see how this is helping but possibly there will be cleanup solutions.

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).

How? This isn’t launching space satellites.
