We aren't alone either:  P3E is considerably further along than\nany of the AMSAT-NA projects, and yet has no hint of how it might get\nboosted to orbit.\n\nCubesats are being launched for one simple reason: people have figured\nout how to fund low mass sats to low earth orbit.   We could probably\nlaunch a couple dozen LEO cubesats (or more) for what it would cost\nto put just one payload into HEO, but nobody seems to really be interested\nin doing that, since it won't give anyone the DX that they want.  I think\nthere have been some interesting developments in micro propulsion\ntechnologies, but it is still challenging to get a cubesat in orbit that can\nserve as a transponder within the weight and space limitations that\ncubesats have.\n\nPerhaps when commercial vehicles like the Falcon 9 begin launching,\nwe'll see a sufficient reduction in payload boosting costs to make\nraising the money for a HEO satellite with significant mass reasonable.\nWe shall have to see.\n\nMark K6HX\n",
