If it goes somewhere it provides a selling tool for potential stakeholders, donors, commercial entities, etc.\n> \n> There are 3,440 members of AMSAT, not huge by any means. ARRL has 161,000 members.\n> \n> Add some of the other groups, AMRAD, SVHFS, AMRAD, TAPR, any others?\n> \n> Sure there is some overlap, but those members will be more likely to contribute. How many would contribute to a GEO program? 35,000? if the average were $300, if collected over 4 years, a small amount. $10,500,000. The project would have to be well spelled out and provide interest to a wide number of experimenters. The funds would have to be earmarked for the project.\n> \n> Can we leverage on huge success of the QO-100???\n> \n> .............................\n> \n> The Spacecraft; A commercial ride along. This would solve a lot of problems such as:\n> \n> 1. Orbital Debris Mitigation\n> 2. Solar Power\n> 3. Redundancy\n> 4. Thermal Control\n> 5. Longevity\n> \n> (Please feel free to add problems _solved_. Lets be positive for once)\n> \n> ...........................\n> \n> The transponder:\n> \n> 1. Qatar-OSCAR 100 design sure seems achievable! It is proven to\n> Amateur and commercial community. When can we sign the order?\n> 2. 2.4 GHz S band uplink 10 GHz X band downlink\n> 3. Bent pipe VS digital argument: Why not do both? NB side stays\n> analog, WB side digital like P4XT proposal\n> \n> .................\n> \n> Who benefits:?\n> \n> 1. Most importantly, boomers like me who have SSB equipment need only\n> to build one or two transporters. Not really that hard.\n> 2. Newbies techs who want to experiment and communicate digitally\n> 3. SAR and EM teams can actually have 365/24/7 emergency satellite\n> transponders both analog and digital without the huge monthly outlay.\n> 4. Universities, ARISS, etc can up link from LEO satellites and ISS via\n> OSCAR-2024 to simple ground stations. Uplink Doppler could be\n> controlled by having those space terminals monitor a polling/beacon\n> from a ground station and adjusting accordingly. Similarly\n> experiments deployed in jungles can use the satellite. With\n> coordination and MOU with Qatar-OSCAR 100, both satellites and\n> hemispheres could each benefit from a wider footprint of both\n> satellites.\n> 5. AMSAT ARRL, AMRAD, SVHFS, AMRAD, TAPREtc through increased interest\n> in satellites, digital experimentation and ham radio in general\n> 6. Commercial entities gaining recognition by providing in-kind\n> services. Elon Musk SpaceX, etc.\n> \n> Who else benefits? Those who benefit will donate. Again _positive _comments right now. Problems can be fixed later.\n> \n> .................\n> \n> \n> \n> \n> \n> \n> \n> \n> \n> -- \n> Joe Leikhim\n> \n> \n> Leikhim and Associates\n> \n> Communications Consultants\n> \n> Oviedo, Florida\n> \n> [email protected]\n> \n> 407-982-0446\n> \n> WWW.LEIKHIM.COM\n> \n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
