[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]How many geo-synchronous satelites does the US have?[/i] As many as we need, considering that they'd be paid for by the military. [i]How much of an area can they watch, and how much area do we need to be monitoring?[/i] In theory, we can monitor the entire surface of the globe. We'd need to monitor any country that has, or could possibly have, ICBMs. The oceans near our coasts would be good, too, due to nuclear-armed subs. [i]Can they see through cloud cover, rain storms, etcetra?[/i] Yup. [i]What's the range of the defensive missiles?[/i] Depends on how we implement the system, which hasn't been decided yet. Space-based would have theoretically unlimited range, but we might go land or sea, too. Or some combination of the above. [/QB][/QUOTE]
