Neat idea (a mirror in space), but unlikely to happen.

Yep. See www.amsat.org for more details... specifically, what I'm working on
today (literally) is documented at:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/phase3d/rudak-u/
I've been too busy to update the web page recently, but if you're dying to
see a couple of pictures of my basement, have at it...
The P3D Rudak subsystem will be the most capable digital communications
package yet flown on an amateur satellite. However, each CPU will "only"
have 15meg of semiconductor file storage medium. So, a mirror is, er, out of
the question... :-)
Most of the software developers for this project live at least part-time on
Debian systems, and much of the Phase-3D ground control software may end up
on Debian systems by the time we launch...
Amateur radio has been granted a permanent home on the international space
station, but the focus, again, will be on communications and scientific
experiments... I'd be surprised if a disk big enough for a mirror flew. And
I'm confident we wouldn't be able to keep it current! :-)
