Cache's in wierd place's

[Geo Biker]

In the far future would'nt it be cool to hide a cache in space. If so someone would have to invent a new kind of GPS

[+Team GPSaxophone]

It could be an SPS (there's no global in space)

[Geo Biker]

LOL. I wonder how we would get the cache? If it is in space how would we get it in the ship?

[Hinge Thunder]

If the cache was in a geosynchonous orbit, you could just use a regular lat/lon, and maybe as an encoded clue give the altitude.

 

Would that be considered a 5/5 difficulty due to needing special equipment?

I have seen all the star trek movies.

I've done 3 cemetaries and a library..at least they were different than the norm..

Perhaps the guy from *NSYNC could place it when he hitches a ride into space.

I did a virtual cache that consisted of the meager rusted remains of an old car out in the woods. Using evidence found at the scene, one had to identify the year, make and model. That was fun.

 

I didn't occur to me until afterwards that perhaps the cache placer hadn't known the answer ...

Well it looks like NASA does use GPSr's on the shuttle while it is in orbit. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/aoda.html says

Orbit determination is provided by the Global Positioning System (GPS). For SRTM, two GPS receivers, developed as part of JPL's Space Receiver program, are connected to GPS antennas located on the outboard radar antenna.

I wonder if their GPSr works like my Vista.

I wonder if they use the "Goto" feature when they are lining up for a landing. I wonder if it signals the the astronauts that they are "Arriving at destination" while they are still somewhere over Texas.

 

... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by, ...

The Space Shuttle travells at roughly 17,500 MPH in low orbit.

My GPSMAP76S usally beeps about 10-20 seconds before arrival.

That would have it beeping about 48-97 miles out.

 

But then, my owners manual says I can reset the radius of proximity...

If the cache was in a geosynchonous orbit, you could just use a regular lat/lon

 

You wouldn't need to post the Lat or elevation. Just the Lon if the geosynchonous orbit was geostationary.

 

Otherwise you will need to give several fixes depending upon time of day. For polor Beosynchonous orbits for instance. At 0000 UCT it's 90 N, at 0600 it's at 118 W at 1200 it's at 90 S.

Local to my area there are some "abandoned" movie sets. Some buddies and I used to hike up to them about 10 years ago, one of them was the set for the 3rd installment of the Friday the 13th movie series, and it includes the "lake", dock, and cabin.

 

My idea was to place the cache in the cabin, in the refrigerator, disguised as if it were a severed head.

 

Alas, as I was researching the location of the probable cache site, I discovered that the property is part of a "movie ranch" and is therefore private property.

 

We did not know this in our past tresspasses, we actually came across/discovered it by old fireroads and trails.
