My idea of a baseline is also an AO-10 or 13 type bird.\nPropulsion and getting a ride To the HEO orbit is very expensive. AMSAT,\nwithout having help from other interested parties, cannot possibly meet\nexpenses on this. With a ride offer from one of the launch facilities,\nSatellite enthusiasts could possibly raise enough money to get this to\nhappen. ITAR is not helping this AMSAT group bonding to give this a chance.\nPlease let your wishes in this direction be known to any AMSAT people. I\nhave been accused of having my own agenda for HEO birds. Remember, we\ncannot possibly afford this (unless a rich uncle leaves us a sizable amount)\nand this is why our officers want to stress the present usable LEO birds as\nour foreseeable future. Have faith and maybe the status of launches will\nchange and all this will be a mute point.\n73,\nDee, NB2F\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Tony Langdon\nSent: Monday, February 21, 2011 4:51 PM\nTo: Rocky Jones; [email protected]; [email protected]\nCc: Amsat BB\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Considerate satellite operations behavior.\n\nAt 04:11 AM 2/22/2011, Rocky Jones wrote:\n\n>My argument with AMSAT and others is that the organization should be \n>leading by pushing more linear devices AND birds with larger \n>footprints.

You can only place\nyour bird where the ride takes you, unless you add propulsion, which means\nextra weight and complexity (meaning more cost, fewer launch opportunities\nand higher risk of failure, and most likely fewer birds).\n\nOne of these days, I'll have a crack at the linear birds we have. I have\nthe gear, just have to get around to using it! :)\n\n73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL\nhttp://vkradio.com\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
