That \nsaid, we can only ASSUME the Europeans mean to do exactly what they say \nthey will do in building the Galileo system. Given that this is the \nonly safe assumption we can make, we do not wish to spend millions of \ndollars on a satellite system designed to be in operation well into the \ncurrently proposed early days of Galileo where our principal payloads \ndemand the use of L band.\n\nAnyway, the arguments about this are all based on NONEXISTENT \nCONDITIONS. We cannot use L band for the ACP (CC-Rider) in my \nopinion. I see no reason at this time why we cannot fly an L band \nreceiver for the linear transponders. I have already asked John \nStephensen to design one and he has AGREED to do it. Why are we arguing \nover a non issue? I believe L band can be accomodated on Eagle but \nbefore I write it in blood, I want Jim's team to do an analysis that \nshows we can fit it along with our primary payload antennas on the space \nframe.\n\n\n>Thanks\n>\n>Joe K0VTY\n>\n> \n>\n73's\nBob\nN4HY\n\n-- \nRobert W.
