"Thank you for the positive thread.
Open Research Institute received news today about an additional $15,000 grant. This will help pay for work on GEO/HEO/Lunar payload transmit chain.
This brings the Phase 1 fundraising total to $65,000.
All of the work product is donated without charge to the general public. This means primarily AMSAT and ARISS/AREx.
ORI has started on Phase 2 fundraising. The goal is $400,000 and will finance multiple end-to-end engineering models.
Phase 3 is space-rated hardware.
Phase 4 is any costs related to any launch.
There is a path forward. Yes it's hard, but it's not impossible. Besides, things worth doing are rarely easy!
