Having been on multple Elana launches with AMSAT and with others (by providing payloads, etc) the issue is Elana does not like publicity about these kinds of details.   For example, the best way to get into trouble with NASA ELana is to announce the launch date where the primary payload in a US national security payload.  That will get you banned for life.

The GOLF-TEE manifest has been announced in AMSAT News Service Bulletins twice over the past few weeks. There were also posts to the bulletin board from AMSAT officers.

It is possible I have missed something in the recent AMSAT announcement of the manifest of the GOLF-TEE satellite on NASA ELaNa 46.  I read the announcement several times in several publications.   I am curious, was not Fox 1E on ELaNa 20?  The big missing detail in the AMSAT announcement on GOLF-TEE was, WHEN??  The NASA Educational Launch of Nano-satellites program has been going for some years now.  Since 1E was ELaNa 20, is there any indication of a “No earlier than” date for a potential launch?  That would be a worthwhile for members to know I would think.. 

 

If I missed something, I am sorry for asking the question, but…
