Retrorefltors are very useful. They are hard to beat for covert comms. Unfortunately, optical ones are limited by weather. Much more versatile, if possibly less covert, are radio types. Ultra lights the size of the Echo are now easily deployed via inflatable and UV regidification. On Sun, Dec 30, 2018, 6:19 PM grarpamp <grarpamp@gmail.com wrote:

The useful part is this...
“Our experiment used the passive retro-reflectors mounted on the satellites"
Which means you can abuse said reflectors for your own fun experiments, permissionless style.
