There would be no \n> HEO Eagles. We would have one conventional HEO bird in orbit and that \n> would be P3E. Can someone in the know clarify or is it just to early to\n> \n> know for sure?\n> 73,\n> Michael, W4HIJ\n\nWe should keep SSETI-ESEO's mode U/S transponder in mind.\n\nhttp://www.sseti.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=198&Itemid=107\n\nCould be a bit of a black-belt affair, since the power would be 10w and I\ndon't think they can count on much gain, but still seems to me to be a\nconventional HEO bird.\n\nIn any case, phase IV has been a long-standing dream of AMSAT; it seems we\nare closer than ever to realizing that dream.  It also is a very practical\nplatform for emergency communications, an application that as a group we\nhave wanted to support but to which our current and prospective orbits have\nfrankly not been ideally-suited.  Finally, the scarcity of HEO rides has\nbeen a dark cloud over two of three up-coming HEO projects worldwide. By\nnegotiating a new source for these, our board is taking important steps in\nassuring the future of just about any project.\n\nThere is some concern that a geostationary HEO will be less fun because it\nis easier to track. We should remember that the equation that solves for\n'fun' has 'experience' as one of its variables. Thus, for a new ham,\nsetting up an s-band dish to point at a geostationary satellite will\nprovide a great deal of challenge and of satisfaction. For the more\nexperienced, the advanced communication package should make a similar offer. \n\nIt's amazing to read some of the great ideas spinning off from this\nopportunity. I imagine my daughter's grade 7 geology class being augmented\nby a live link with a park ranger in the Canadian North. No other AMSAT\nproject would lend itself well to such a use.\n\nWe should seek to make this not only an important part of the amateur\nemergency toolkit, but also a must-have resource for schools around North\nAmerica. Just as ARISS offers schools a glimpse into life aboard ISS, a\n'Learning on the Edge' program could link students with people in remote\nlocations. It would train and equip people destined for remote locations\nand would, with local ham help, equip schools to communicate with the\npeople in the field. These adventurers and scientists would make 1/2h\ncontacts with each of the schools in the network, explaining their work and\nthe place they are in.\n\n73, Bruce \nVE9QRP\n",
