Abstract: A space system operates to: receive, via a network interface, communication conditions data and space system data, wherein the space system data includes space object data corresponding to a plurality of space objects and a plurality of space clients and wherein the communication conditions data includes weather service data indicating atmospheric conditions adverse to space communications; generate, responsive to the communications condition data and the space systems data, interference prediction data that indicates at least one predicted interference condition corresponding to communications corresponding to at least one of the plurality of space objects; generate, responsive to the interference prediction data, one or more interference alerts indicating the at least one predicted interference condition at the at least one of the plurality of space objects; and send, via the network interface, the one or more interference alerts to one or more of the plurality of space clients.

Abstract: A tree processing apparatus and more particularly an apparatus for delimbing at least two, and preferably about ten, trees simultaneously. The trees, which have been previously felled, are each loaded, by one end in the apparatus and then all the trees are substantially simultaneously moved through the apparatus while being delimbed. Means can also be provided on the apparatus to saw the trees transversely into sections.
