P3E is a HEO with the same engine as P3D and no benefactor funding a launch. It seems more reasonable to focus on projects that we can pay to launch or

John KD6OZH Wacky idea No 357

Perhaps a longer term piece of AMSAT research could be to develop a subsystem for LEO satellites that detects and then connects users between passing LEOs. This would allow short term intersatellite communication. Very tricky, but a nice project where boards are made available to anyone who would like to add this facility to their LEO Sat.

Thanks
