Thank you! -------------- Original message from "Andrew Glasbrenner" glasbrenner@mindspring.com: --------------
I was indeed wrong. They are all roughly 25cm/10 inches per side, with some minor variations. I will attempt to have this correct on the website, and
include the units!
Sorry for my erroneous first response.

Hey Drew, Thank you so much for this. I would really like to know the accurate dimensions of the satellites and, again, suggest that whatever they are be posted on each satellite's page on the AMSAT site.

Errr, I think I spoke too soon. There seems to be some disagreement on the exact size, but they are all the same size. I'll get a more complete and possibly correct answer for you.

They are all three 150mm on a side, and share a -very- common heritage. Can you send me the URL for the page that lists 27 as 25x25x25?

PS FO-29 is also Mode J, but is a transponder instead of a FM repeater.

dimensions
Hey everyone,
I'm preparing a presentation on the three LEO satellites currently
active
in Mode J, and I'd like to include the physical dimensions of each. I need some help in that regard:
The AMSAT Web page on AO-51 lists it as 150x150x150. The page for AO-27 lists it as 25x25x25. Can anyone tell me the correct unit(s) of measurement for each?
SO-50's dimensions are not listed. Does anyone know what they are?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
