On the 14th of june Dave Young his talk on the cold war history of weather prediction and control. The talk was held outside on the Department Of Search's forum on the Geneveplein
Part of the methodolgy of Dave Youngs approach is to re-evaluate bureaucratic and administrative documents as they become declassified in a research project called rereadme. Rereadme is a "series of essays, each oriented around an extract from an administrative document collected from US defense and intelligence agency archives. The historical and political contexts of reports, memoranda, technical manuals are unpacked and analysed as instruments of institutional power, "illuminating the often recessive yet impactful role they play as mediators".
His talk is published as two separate texts that can be found here and here
After the lecture the group went back to the keet in order to do some observations. While the sun was still out we did so by radio frequency, as the sun set into the night, the satellites could be spotted with the naked eye.

Very noisy and 'low' afternoon pass. One can distinguish, Spain in the bottom right corner. When the satellites pass 'low' that means they are low on the horizon and not directly overhead. The time the signal can be received and the strength with which it can be received are thus reduced.
This is an example of a 'high' pass. One can clearly distinghuish Europe and Northern Africa. At the top one can see the landmass of Greenland. This is the NOAA 15 satellite.
Another relatively long but noisy pass at 7 in the evening. NOAA-19
Evening pass of one of the NOAA satellites. Mostly the atlantic ocean. By the low sun casting long shadows one can see it is an evening pass. 
After perforating the radials I assembled everything on the mounting plate to see how it would fit.
The small tubes are filed to size in order to support the curvature of the radials.
After that the wire mesh was cut to size. Twelve petals to be mounted between the radials.
Screws per radial: 7
