The idea of satellite-powered space billboards has been around for a while, but new research suggests they could actually be economically viable.

It’s an idea that will send a shiver down the spines not only of astronomers who need clear skies to do their work, but also of regular folks who sometimes like to gaze dreamily toward the heavens to immerse themselves in the beauty of the universe.

Additional research found that daily ad revenue from space ads could reach around $2 million, suggesting the operator could recover its costs within the space of a month if they display the ads on a daily basis, whether over the same city or by moving between different ones. The idea for satellite-powered space billboards has been around for a number of years but, in the light of this latest research, they now seem a step closer.
