I haven’t been here for a very long time. Its nice to write my password and go through the gate. I feel like I’ve been staying in somebody else’s house for a while. Today and yesterday felt more familiar. We built the geostationary orbit and making things is like a cipher, the thing you are […]

They’re not the first to receive the data. Its first processed into an image and then passed on to them to work out what everything is, how to interpret the image. Now […]
Lisa Parks showed me a mapping of the area of former Yugoslavia which she’d developed. Before the NATO bombings, the media had used one satellite, EUTELSAT, but the attacks destroyed the broadcast infrastructure.
