    "content": "Robert,\nCongratulations for volunteering to organize development of an analog \nlinear transponder.\nPlease contact me and the AMSAT Systems Engineering team for mass, \nvolume, power consumption, and heat generation requirements for your \nlinear transponder board. We will provide you the interface \nspecification to the IHU for control and ICB (Interconnect Control \nBoard) for power distribution.\n\nOh, and they're not 10 year olds, they are 22 year olds who are about 8 \nmonths away from receiving their Electrical Engineering or Computer \nEngineering or Mechanical Engineering or Systems Engineering or \nIndustrial Engineering Degree from the State University of New York \nsystem. And there are 34 (thirty-four) of them working on the NextGen \nProject for AMSAT.\n\nI will gladly set up a conference call next week at 6PM EDT  on \nWednesday where you can talk with the Systems Engineering team to \ndiscuss the details of the requirements. We are scheduling the CDR \n(Critical Design Review) for the last week in January 2010. I expect you \nwill be ready for this design review because since \"such people exist\" \nand they will have designs that meet the spacecraft's requirements. You \nmust have the board ready for Systems Integration Test in Mid-March \n2010. We will be putting the system on AMSAT's table at the Dayton \nHamvention. Please have your prototype board budget and schedule ready \nfor PDR (Preliminary Design Review) during the 2nd week of December, 2009.\n\nThey are tight time frames but we are just doing evolutionary, not \nrevolutionary changes to the design. We also have a team of 27 \nupper-division undergraduate senior Systems Engineers, university System \nEngineering professors and experienced professional Systems Engineers \nwith multiple decades of industry experience working on the project.\n\nI suggest, you and anyone else who wishes to declare their intension to \nvolunteer on a board project should read our presentation from the AMSAT \nSymposium.\n\nAlex Harvilchuck, N3NP/SO4NNP\nProgram Manager,\nAMSAT NextGen Program\n\n------------------------------\n\nMessage: 4\nDate: Sun, 18 Oct 2009 12:37:44 -0500\nFrom: Rocky Jones <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Why do hamsats?

There would have been a few more issues involved in terms of operating the thing on ISS other then just deploying it (mostly RF work)...\n\nbut...\n\nas for me heading the project.  I'd deep six the entire software defined transponder, put it on a development effort with some heavy program guidance...find some people who wanted to build linear transponders even if they were overseas (such people exist already) and start flying as many of those as possible.\n\nRight now what in my view the satellite community needs is a 100 percent Oscar 7 or 10...not some technological development issues.\n\nIf I were king we would have something to offer the USAF if they had spare lift on a Centaur as they just had...remember the original Oscar's flew on USAF vehicles.\n\nin the meantime I will continue to keep my technical skills sharp (grin) by helping the 10 year olds put together a buoy that is going to float in Clear Lake...\n\nRobert WB5MZO\n\n\n",
