      Lennart,
The proposal would have the satellite launched directly into a 63
degree inclination Molniya orbit, so there would be no need for the
kick motor. As discussed in the presentation, the need to change the
orbit from the initial geosynchronous transfer orbit has always been
an obstacle. AO-10 didn't make it to the right orbit, AO-13 made it
pretty close to the targeted orbit, but the orbit it ended up in
turned out to be unstable, and, of course, AO-40's engine problems
severely damaged the satellite.

Hello All,
It is great news to hear about the opportunities for P3E,
Unfortunately
the internet connection on board of the vessel I’m currently on, is not capable
of opening the video.
I’ve read
on the article that the orbital engine and fuel tank will be removed.  Will the satellite be placed in another orbit?
So no engine is needed?
Will it
still carry V/U/L/S transponders ? or is this information not yet available to
the ‘public’
Thanks for
reply,
Have a nice
day / evening!
With kind
regards,
Lennart

Thanks, Trevor!
Even though I knew it was coming, seeing the P3E announcement in this
video still makes me smile and lean into the screen with anticipation as
if I were hearing it for the first time ever, sitting at the Colloquium!
