Hi All,
I hope I'm not stepping on any toes by posting this here - I'm new.
My title says it all: I need help, I need distance :)
I'm seeking a laser that goes a great distance - i.e. outside the Earth's atmosphere. Is this possible?
[EDIT: What I actually mean here is a laser that can be seen from outside the Earth's atmosphere, so that one could almost determine it's origin. For example, can a laser be seen from the ISS]
Is there a relatively cheap way I can achieve this without risking €600 (which I don't have) on a dodgy website, or do I have to make this myself?
In your reply, please mention details like mw, laser colour etc and any links etc would be great.
Thanks very much indeed if you can help me.
Best of luck,
Patrick :thinking:
