Japanese launch satellites that will write messages in the sky!!


According to a news site published by SPACE.com, a Japanese group sent to the International Space Station, and a recurring charge for the supply of the ISS, small satellites that, when released, will send messages in Morse code from the sky.

One goal of the project is to allow researchers to test techniques for optical communication and high speed via satellite and small devices, called cubsats, which should shine like stars through high-intensity LED bulbs that will produce flashes.

The researchers hope that these emissions are visible from Earth only with the use of simple binoculars, proving the feasibility of optical communication through these devices. Anyway, a telescope, equipped with an antenna and a photomultiplier, is aligned to receive the main signals, ensuring they are properly registered.
