Re: Mars Satellite Network
Thank you, Larry.
I was thinking of a similar satellite network and I'm glad JPL has a site for it.
And, yes, I meant to 'slow the craft down' this way: slowing to orbital velocity using thrusters, then circularizing the orbit using more thruster firings. It could certainly be done, it'd just cost quite a bit to use all of that fuel.
...yes, it would.
I hope they come through with a Mars Network (soon).
