[amsat-bb] Re: Spanish cubesat

Hi all.

I've seen several posts on the BB in response to the Spanish Cubesat teams request for suggestions for communications payloads. Some have said.....A linear transponder....but you probably wont have the power for that.

But. Looking at the ESA page for the cubesats, it appears our friends from Spain have a deployable solar array planned. In which case, there may be slightly more power than anticipated.
