Introduction
Chris —
I just got some additional info on the Iridium project. This source indicated that there is a Main Mission Antenna being used in the Iridium Global Communications Network. Can you get me some info on this antenna, specifically its design?
Thanks,
Brian
In Lesson 1 we identified technical databases in a simple search and discovered that a number of databases contained information about the Iridium project.
In Exercise 1, you also looked at databases that included computer science journals and electrical engineering data, specifically the database Inspec (File 2).
Now we have another piece of information from Brian. I will revise my search strategy to include Brian's latest information.
