Data from Space: Adaptive Array Network Could Improve Access to NASA's Earth Observing Satellites
Sophisticated signal processing techniques and simple proof-of-principle antenna arrays built from PVC pipe, aluminum foil and copper wire could revolutionize the way NASA obtains data from its Earth observing satellites.
