The Result
Finally, once the treasure is found, the AGT connects to the iridium satellite network and sends an HTTP POST request with the success message to any destination. The AGT does not need wifi connection for this request: the satellite network does this for you after you make an account with Ground Control and connect the iridium device on the AGT. I made a temporary site on Webhook.site which automatically sets up an endpoint to receive HTTP requests. Here’s an example message after I played the game and won!
The Iridium network can also estimate the approximate location of the message based on the positioning of the satellite themselves.
