the distance is 384400km
That’s almost the distance between my bed and the kitchen before my first cup of coffee!
I use about 800mW for my fpv drone and if you get a little bit away from yourself and go behind a tree or something you could lose video pretty easily
Wonder what the latency would be like trying to fly my 3.5" on the moon from earth
Although I suppose the lack of atmosphere would be the bigger issue…
Think of the speeds you could fly at with no drag! I’m so bummed that the Grace Hopper drone didn’t get to fly after Intuitive Machines fluffed their second landing. That would have been awesome outreach from NASA.
We want drones on the moon!
The magic of a clear line of sight and vacuum for a good ~384’300km!
So should we do low power communications by using the moon as reflector dish?
There was a NSA program that listened to soviet messages by collecting the transmissions that bounced off the moon.
Also, directional vs omnidirectional antennas.
This is the most important part.
And not encoding any data. Well a laser pulse is kind of datum.
One bit! That’s all you get!
I am worried about 2000ms ping
That’s what the anti-tachyon modulation circuit is for, to change the time phase and remove most of that lag. Once they’re in sync, it’s literally real time!
Two thirds of a million kilometres under good conditions and at a precise angle to get a picture of goatse moontooth’d to my phone
Welcome to 2025!
It’s easy, you just need a big antenna, low noise receiver (just cool it) for low bandwidth (keeps noise power low) and no interferers in the same frequency band.
*directional antenna
Show me a non-directional antenna.
Shrimple as that
It’s almost too easy
To be fair, that’s an insignificant distance for light to travel.
Still takes at least 2 seconds for the round trip.
Well, according to my ex, even 30 or 90 seconds is an interval unworthy of consideration.

My Bluetooth buds often get interference - technically 100 mW, distance from my head to a pocket.
technically 100 mW
Technically a maximum of 100 mW, but realistically much lower than that.
