[NLRS] ISS bounce

[Chris Elmquist]

I replied to Bill off list but thought I'd send this bit to the whole list--

It's kinda dejavu all over again,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Echo

"NASA's Echo 1 satellite was built by Gilmore Schjeldahl's G.T. Schjeldahl
Company in Northfield, Minnesota. The balloon satellite functioned as a
reflector, not a transceiver, so that after it was placed in a low Earth
orbit, a signal would be sent to it, reflected or bounced off its surface,
and then returned to Earth."
