I recently finished writing a paper on VSAT for a engineering technology course I am taking at the Chicago University Howard near downtown. While I don’t plan on pursuing a career in satellite telecommunications, I found it fascinating as I have often struggled with how to process credit cards in remote tradeposts in Africa while I was a missionary for our synagogue in the 1920′s. While making trades and recording the transaction for such a time when credit cards would be invented was a possibility, it was much more practical to use a Very Small Aperture Terminal or VSAT and simply beam the transaction forward into the future with automatic interest calculation making me a trillionare in years hence.
