    "content": "Jeff,\n\nI will second Bill's entire statement.  With the advent of CubeSats, it\nfeels as if a large RESET button which must be pushed.  Now throw in ITAR,\nand there is a big metal box around the button which we need to find the key\nto open.  ;)  Glib comments not withstanding, these are issues which can't\nbe finessed.  However, there is in place a path which will over a reasonable\nperiod of time provide satellites we can use to communicate, develop and\nenhance university and institutional connections, and develop the pieces\nneeded for a HEO satellite.  The \"beepsat\" folks have not particular\ninterest in a transponder, but imagine an off the shelf RF card which\nincludes that as a standard feature.  Remember that the technology used for\nthese satellites can be scaled up for a larger and more capable satellite.\n\nAlan\nWA4SCA\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Bill Ress\nSent: 14 October, 2009 11:43\nTo: Jeff Davis\nCc: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Let's Go!\n\nHi Jeff,\n\nMany thanks for your appreciated words of support. The decision was \nvery, very hard and I know we'll receive many slings and arrows for it, \nbut while it sure wasn't our preferred project - it is a realistic one.\n\nWe all want a HEO or would even settle for a MEO but until someone can \n\"show us the money\" to get our satellite there, we're stuck in LEO, \nplain and simple.\n\nI can tell you personally that one answer is to modify a LEO orbit. It's \nno at all easy but it is an intuitive alternate for a better orbit. I am \nalso optimistic, given the papers on the subject at the Symposium, that \ncreative thought will be given by AMSAT-NA on the subject. It's not an \nanswer for next year or even five years out, but it's coming.\n\nRegards...Bill - N6GHz\n\nJeff Davis wrote:\n> I want to offer 'hearty congratulations' to the BOD for the courageous\n> decisions made at the recent Space Symposium.
