I guess I need to go back and read the archives because what I remember reading didn't give me any hope AO-40 would ever be back. Wasn't there something about that they believed the spacecraft was leaking corrosive fuel? Doesn't sound to conducive to any type of recovery of anything where electronics are involved.. I also thought there was talk of a "catastrophic explosion". Michael, W4HIJ _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
