Re: I have an idea. Please read
I'm all for exploring the design of an orbiting aricraft. Engineering
such a problem is FUN!
With GPS on the oribter and on the re-fueler drone, and Line-of-sight
low power 2.4 GHz camera video, it woiuld be "trivial" to do an in-flight
refueling. THus drastically simplifying the design... Hummh...
Even with a continuing source of fuel though, I doubt any hobby motors
would last long enough to be practical.
