P3E is a HEO with the same engine as P3D and no benefactor funding a
launch.
Hi John, KD6OZH
P3E is the only HEO with the possibility to be launched because her will carry on several experiments related to the Mars probe P5A under development in AMSAT-DL P3E is already made and it is standing in the labs of the University of Marburg Germany and is waiting for a launch opportunity while P5E is still under development.
It seems more reasonable to focus on projects that we can pay to launch
All joined AMSAT togheter in the world has not the financial capability to pay for a HEO launch and this matter has been already discussed several time on this BB
or where someone has already donated the launch.
Nobody has donated a launch for free or about for free on HEO except ESA for OSCAR-10 OSCAR-13 and AO40 upon political strategy conducted mostly by AMSAT-DL and this is why we must pull for P3E.......I agree completely with Luc, VE2DWE
Actually the rest of HEO's are only on brains, on desk and on papers.

I know AMSAT has had it's issues over it's long history, and we are all disappointed that HEOs seem to be almost out of reach for us now. We
are
all human and we all make mistakes, especially when it involves rocket engines, building spacecraft on hobby store budgets, and getting all past our benefactor launch agency trials and schedules.
If "HEOs seem to be almost out of reach for us now" what we should do next? no more false illusions about geo sat's and so on just get back on earth and focused on how to help P3E and our German friend.
