The 11th round of candidate selections has been made for the CubeSat Launch Initiative. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-announces-next-round-of-candidates-for-cub...
The brief descriptions shared in the NASA release don't include specific mention of any amateur radio applications. Does this mean that none of these cubesats will carry a repeater/transponder, or that *if* they will (or might) that fact is not mentioned?
Or, to ask another way, if a CSLI applicant decides it wants to incorporate an amateur repeater or transponder, is it "too late" if that mission element is not included in the original application?
