Design a Satellite

Your mission: design a satellite to bounce signals from towers to the orbiting satellite, and back to the more rural and remote corners of the Earth. (Okay, the Earth is round - the more remote "curves" of the Earth - why do we say "corners"??) Students are given parameters to work with the people of Littleton, designing the satellite to get into and stay in orbit, power up, point toward Earth, and of course, relay proper signals where needed.
