Like the military's message bearers, TCOM's balloon, or aerostat (from the Greek words for "air" and "one that stops"), as its developers call it, is anchored by cable over a fixed spot on the ground. In a test now under way in the Bahamas, an aerostat floating 11,500 ft. over Grand Bahama Island is picking up TV signals from Miami 110 miles away and rebroadcasting them on a local channel-in effect, trebling...
J.P.L. scientists are trying a different technique: they tune in to the signals from the same quasar with two different antennas located many miles apart. Because of their separation, one antenna will pick up the signal slightly ahead of the other. The time difference is infinitesimally small-perhaps only a ten-billionth of a second. Yet it can be measured with the help of atomic clocks and computers. Once the difference in the signal's arrival time is known, the distance between the two antennas as well as their elevation can be calculated with an accuracy of an inch...
