<p><font size="4">Dear Atlas-ml-followers,</font></p>
<p><font size="4">this a summary of a brief discussion I had with
Michel Stam during RIPE85.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">We believe there might be a great value putting up
a public Internet monitoring probe (vantage point) into low
earth orbit satellite systems, such as Starlink.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Monitoring from terrestrial end-points delivers
high variances, due to frequent sat-changes.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">If we could put up an ATLAS-probe (be it SW -
which is probably easier than HW) into a specific plane, we
could add interesting tests and try to interpret the values
depending on position over specific areas, atmospheric
influences, solar influences as well as other effects that would
change signal patterns.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I would be offering support to try to establish
such a probe and help to setup a project defition.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Any thoughts or feedback to this idea?</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Best regards</font></p>
