Satellite eavesdropping of 802.11b traffic

[John Kelsey]

Guys,

Does anyone know whether the low-power nature of wireless LANs protects them from eavesdropping by satellite?  Is there some simple reference that would easily let me figure out whether transmitters at a given power are in danger of eavesdropping by satellite?  

Thanks,

--John
