Is there a way to launch an amateur satellite into orbit without the government knowing?

In order to bypass FAA licensing and other legal restrictions?
The rocket will need to carry a transceiver for confirming orbit, obviously. But how small should it be to avoid government radar detection?

Did you know Wade Boggs drank 64 beers on a cross country flight?

There’s really only one way to find out…. Launch and see if the feds notice.

If you're taking on this project it seems like you should really have someone that already knows that. If TD is your knowledge base that satellite ain't getting off the ground unless someone throws it.

FYI,

Yeah. You just have to launch at night so they can't see it.

Challenge accepted!
I know a guy who runs a firework stand and I can weld.

That's pretty impossible. How are you going to do that without hitting the glass dome?

You could use satatlie balloons. Then Launch when you get to a desired altitude

Yes, but you’re going to need a hell of a potato gun.

I would think not advertising on a public forum ahead of time might be a good start

Sadly, with the way our government is operating, they may not suspect anything.

Then they should know where all the UFOs take off from and where they land.

Might be the dumbest question I've ever seen on here.
