Surrounding area

gollark: You would have to detect and correct for it.

gollark: Weird turbulence stuff could happen though?

gollark: I figure that with good acceleration/rotation data, knowledge of initial velocity and stuff (GPS should work when it's out of the atmosphere, right?), and rough knowledge of what the trajectory is you could get it to somewhat work.

gollark: It's possible that people just didn't want space killsats for some reason? I can't see why, but maybe.

gollark: No, you can integrate the acceleration to get displacement.
