[net.space] needles in orbit

dgd@ukc.UUCP (07/25/83)

can anyone out there provide me with some information about
an experiment which was (perhaps) carried out some years ago?

to the best of my knowledge it consisted of depositing a load
of copper (?) needles in low-earth orbit, possibly to act as
reflectors.
