Seen from Space

Here’s the re-entry guidance beacon I propose constructing on Crystal Lake for the Year of the Rabbit New Year Party. The moon is only 6% illuminated and sets by 8:30 pm, so we can expect a dark night perfect for spotting and being spotted by approaching spacecraft. Note the moon will actually set behind this POV. We still have to work out a feasible technique for under the ice illumination, suggestions welcome. We have approximately 300 ft of high gauge extension cord.

We’ll be watching the aurora borealis forecast too.
