Mark,
A few questions a few of us were discussing at work yesterday about
telemetry such as the data that is recorded in-flight...cockpit voices, avionics etc:
Could it be real time transmitted via satellite to a receiving station?
This could help fill in a lot of the missing picture at least in the
minutes before the loss of signal.
Is that done already anyway to a degree by the airline HQ?
Would this data stream be far too high in bandwidth to be practical?
I'm assuming flight data for the shuttles, for example, is able to be studied this way
because of the almost nil prospect of FDR recovery in a re-entry catastrophe?
regards,
Steve
