Electronic sensors that can detect the presence of a frog will immediately

Speaking of low cost rides, years ago a rather large green beetle landed on
the windscreen in front of
me just as the tower gave us takeoff clearance. As the speed built, he
hunkered down against the
wind. Somewhere around 100 kts first one leg, and then another came
unstuck, and he blew off. I
always hoped that he missed the engine. It was an MD-80, so the air flow
might have taken him to it.
But he had determination.

Can anyone tell me what the highest resolution camera is that

Hi Bob,
Look at :
https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/c-missions/cube
sat-launch-2
down the page for detail information on the CMOS camera used in XI-V in
case you have not seen that.

This doesn't appear to affect how spacecraft trajectories are
determined. I guess our satellites will stay in orbit as they always
have.
