Yes, we certainly welcome more satellites and AO-73 is getting me into linear birds due to its ease of use ( I'm sure others are too with practice). Let's not start another LEO HEO debate. It's well understood that if the opportunity came to do a HEO mission it would be taken. Getting a good grip on reliable LEO cubesats will help with a future HEO cubesat (3U+ Most likely).

I never thought I'd even think this, but with the plethora of recently launched satellites, a few with transponders and some with other
functions,
there are just too many. Trying to keep track of all the events is
giving
me a headache! Is there or can there be a single place, web page etc
where
there is a concise depository of information? Now it is just all over
the
place. I suppose I should just focus on a few. 73 Bob W7LRD
