Earth mapping satellite?
Hi,
I seem to remember a while ago there was a discussion here about an earth mapping satellite (or similar), and you could see the light from the 'laser' through light cloud etc. Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about and could give me the name of this satellite? I'm sure I'm not going mad! Many thanks in advance. Rich.
