Huge Radio Space Belt Aimed By West Ford Experiment
A Midas missile satellite launched into a 2100 mile orbit ejects 350 million copper needles to form a 5 mile wide belt around the Earth. The goal is to bounce radio waves globally on new frequencies though scientists warn of potential interference with optical and radio observations. If successful, the ring would stretch 25 miles deep along the orbit and may lead to further tests around the equator.
