Consider the following when designing your defsat's weapons:

"Captain, Nav reports we're about to enter orbit."
*ZAP*ZAP*ZAP*ZAP*
"DamCon reports multiple needle beam hits.  Drives are down."
"Captain, Nav has a revised report.  We're about to crash."

Actually, the article doesn't list it as a planet, but a
"trans-Neptunian objec
t". There are a lot of them out there, things like comets and asteroids.
They a
ren't planets. 

Now, I'm not sure how you figure out if it IS a planet. This thing seems
pretty
 big, about half the diameter of Pluto. I'm not sure what the criteria
is for a
 planet. I'm guessing there's a composition criterion and a size
criterion.

The article carefully does not refer to the object as a planet, and
there is st
ill the issue of the object's diameter. It may be a while before we know
if we 
have 10 planets (that we know of) or still only 9.

I'm a little confused. Are you after real life sensors, or are you after
sci-fi
 sensors? This sentence seems to indicate real life sensors, which I
would imag
ine are limited to radar, optical telescopes and radio-wave telescopes. 

If you're talking sci-fi telescopes, I'm sure there's a Traveller/GURPS
module 
with that info.

What is the current feeling of fire actions in FMA (or Stargrunt for
that
matter), one fire action per activation or one per action?

Thanks,

Dear Allan:
  Lets start with present day technology.  In particular I am interested
in the
 
following
  IR detection
  UV detection
  radar
  Passive detection of radio sources
  optical (passive and active)
  
  I would like to know stuff like
  A) Resolution
	probably dependent on appeture, distance between multiple
sensors etc
  B) Power requirements
	For a normal set of detectors, large set
  C) Scan ability 
	How much area (of sky, air, water) can I cover with decent res
in a 
given amount of time
  D) Limitations 
	I obviously need filters if I look at the sun using optics
  E) What each is best at detecting.
  F) Any other stuff I should know
  
  Thanks
  John W. Fox
