Pretty cool. I wish Meshtastic had more focus on routing and a way to safely do store & fwd. It’s difficult to actually mesh well with it. I run a few solar powered higher altitude nodes and provide reasonable coverage but I’ve observed many messages never reach their destination.

This. I like the idea of Meshtastic however APRS is much more extensive and even has satellite coverage like the ISS.

It would work a Meshtastic repeater from the ISS?

LoRa is extremely robust and can work with super weak signals. At the price of being very very slow in the most reliable configuration .

That combination is toxic for a high amount of parallel users.

I think it would need big modifications: fast uplink and robust slow downlink.
