If I had a drone that flew autonomously around the world and

there are actually strict regulations against pointing a camera at earth from space, stupid as that sounds. apparently, govt owns space too.

i should have said pic not related. the drone would fly lower than planes do

i don't know how you'd make the batter last if it weren't in orbit

>>57016937
Assuming drone had infinite battery, I think possible.

Just connect to different network periodically and potentially re-send some lost packets.

Like when your phone switches from data to wifi and the call doesn't drop.

even if you had infinite battery life:

destroyed by bad weather
motors burn out
camera lens gunks up from dust/debris

>>57017955
all fair points, but from a purely networking perspective I think it's possible.

Sure, you'd connect to a satellite and make changes to satellite connections when the earth or mountains blocks your network

>>57017115
Are you making this up? What regulations? How are they enforced? Sounds like horse shit.

what are you even trying to do?

>>57018090
Satellites are shit for bandwidth. While I guess you could in theory maintain a connection to at least one at any given time, good luck getting that stream look good.

>>57018156

search it. i was curious about whether an amateur satellite could be a fun project and found that there's a lot of rules involved if you want to put something in space

>>57016937
Ask the US government, they already have several solar powered autonomous drones covering the world.

>>57018179
Don't pull shit out of your ass.
They are actually great for bandwidth but have a big delay.

>>57018229

I find that hard to believe. solar panels wouldn't supply enough continuous power

>>57018179
It's the only plausible method, and it's only delay that hinders you. You simply cannot connect to Internet in the middle of buttfuck nowhere without satellite.

And this is a commercial one.
