If a satellite falls in the ocean, can anyone hear it?
I was watching a program on cable the other evening where people were
talking about how the Tu-95 Bear was so loud insert Match Game reference here that it could be heard and tracked on SOSUS. That got me wondering - if a satellite (or meteorite) were to strike the ocean, might something like SOSUS be able to hear it and so help determine the point of impact? rick jones -- Wisdom Teeth are impacted, people are affected by the effects of events. these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... |

A splash might be lost in the background noise. |

Depends a little on what nearly a billion worth of satellite, spent rocket parts and nearly a decade worth of a couple dozen highly paid physics and science expertise plus infrastructure should sound like. As of lately our NASA has been dropping and/or exploding a number of spendy missions and R&D that wasn't supposed to go thump, splat or kaboom. If we could find that supposedly defective OCO clamshell, there's a good chance an independent team of CSI could uncover how and by who it was sabotaged. ~ BG |

We should know within a km2 as to the splashdown of our spendy OCO. ~ BG |
