[OFARC] Sporadic E on Mars

[MLandress]

I got an idea.  Everyone in the club points their beam and we link it like the very large array.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the interesting video on Sporadic e.  Maybe in Mars it will be Sporadic ‘Rifts’, as opposed to Sporadic e, since the e layer is so dominant.  BTW, the signal for Mars “EME” should be about 5 orders of magnitude smaller (avg) than the EME (earth-moon) signal.  

 

Earth-Moon:  r= 3.83 x 10^8 m => 1/r^2 = 6.82 x 10^-18  per meter squared

 

Earth-Mars:   r=2.83 x 10^11 m => 1/r^2 = 1.25 x 10^-23 per meter squared

 

Earth-Moon = 6.82 x 10^-18  ~ 10^-5

Earth-Mars      1.25 x 10^-23

 

Normalizing to EME, that would be -50dB I believe.

 

Thank you for getting me to think about physics!

Simplified report on the details of sporadic E layer layers and radio propagation discovered in Mars atmosphere.  Is it too far for EME?
