I think the BOD is serious. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here right now working on the Eagle U-band receiver.

Nice to see some informative Big Picture discussion here.
For all its worth; I believe a cooperative effort with an established satellite builder incorporating an auxilliary payload makes more sense than an independant effort with more complexity and cost.
Who really would'nt want a geosynchronise transponder?
I want to see NA put Eagle in orbit before anything else. They already put Eagle on the back burner once to build a grid-sat.
Looks like waiting to see if the BOD was really serious about doing Eagle before I'd be making any donations to it turned out to be a good decision.
