[amsat-bb] Subject: Re: Link budgets for upcoming HEO/GEO sats

Hello,

Have been monitoring the link budget discussion and have questions about polarization. Unlike the 2m and 70cm LEOs, I assume the spacecraft will be stabilized with a fixed polarization and not susceptible to Faraday rotation. What polarization is planned for the satellite for up and down link and do we need to start designing polarizers for the link?

Keep up the great work!
