I checked to make sure it wasn't April first. As Bruce said, "if this is for real", the question should be not putting a linear transponder on it, but how many! For 4K a few of use could pool our Visa cards!

The first team that puts a linear transponder on board one of these, wins! (And I want William Leijenaar PE1RAH on my team ...)

Seriously, if this is for real, I think AMSAT should get at the front of the train and provide hardware, or hardware design, for those who plan to use it.
