Chinahand Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 This doesn't really fit in either the astronomy or flat earth threads, but it is a great effort to use parallax to measure the height of the ISS above the Earth. This is something anyone could do with a friend. Use a transit finder, the two of you go to different places within the transit zone a certain distance apart and film the transit. The results will be slight different due to parallax and you can use that difference and the distance apart the two place were to work out the height of the ISS. Guess what - it orbits about 400km above the earth. Who'd have thunk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 @Chinahand You might want to mention the weather balloons carrying the satellites and what planes bring them back in? Other people may follow your thinking but the reports I've seen show a different story, including the Chinese and Russian satellites too! You got to love Antartica.

Which version, the actual provable and visited version, or the flat earth version which encircles the "perimeter" of the flat earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like this: https://www.universetoday.com/130334/bloostar-launching-satellites-via-balloon/ "One idea that’s been out there for a while is to loft a launch platform into the upper atmosphere, and simply start from there" "This is a cheap and effective way to get payloads into a very space-like environment." "These near Space Balloon platforms typically reach an altitude of 28 kilometres (17 miles) above the surface of the Earth. For reference, the Armstrong Line (where the boiling point of water equals human body temperature) starts 18 kilometers up, and the Kármán line — the internationally recognized boundary where space begins — starts at an altitude of 100 kilometers, or 62 miles up." "Most satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) go around the Earth 300 to 600 kilometers up, and the International Space Station resides in a 400 by 400 kilometer standard orbit." Need to try a little bit hard than that I'm afraid Manxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
