Re: How do time-travelers calculate the date?
Why not fly to where you want your satellite in the present, then jump back to when you want it, deploy it there and jump forward again?

Re: How do time-travelers calculate the date?
Depends on the mechanics of the time travel. I'd imagine you wouldn't be in the necessary Earth-reference frame. I guess at worst you'd be in the sun's reference frame, at a random point on Earth's orbit, so it might still be easy enough to then fly to the L-point you want.

I see Three viable cleanup strategies: 1: Time travel it to the future past when it's discovery is a problem. 2: Disguise it as a meteor and knock it toward the sun. Even if it's spotted in the next decade, it's not a concern. 3: Use option 2 decades ahead of when it could be a problem and use satellites to fill in the gap years. |

Of course, why you're using human time travelers with such a system is a good question. I'd use the satelite ssytem to prevent human time travel just to stop all the doofusses who want to get a date with Cleopatra.

But we've wandered pretty far afield. I think we can agree that for a well-established time-travel culture, some form of space-based transmitter is totally plausible up to about 1900. If we want to keep talking about the details, we should probably create a spinoff thread. |
