Hi all, Why not look at the bright side of life :-)
Personally I have had lots of fun out of AO-40 (P3D) and all the other satellites over the years.
We still have a lot of working satellites up there. Some are AMSATs others Cubesats - there are lots of ways to use them. Just had fun trying to track the new Japanese satellites launched 23rd of January.
I too would like to see a HEO satellite in orbit - but I also realise the difficulties (moneys). AMSAT-OZ has just donated 2500 EUROS to P3E. We are a very small organisation with 60 members. This will not pay for a launch. Our filosophy is that any small amount helps.
Have a nice Sunday. 73 OZ1MY Ib
