P3E: Happy, but urging caution
Again, I caution. Until we have a contract, this is an opportunity. The most serious we have had since we launched AO-40 but a contract must be let to Virginia Tech by the USG to update the electronics and adapt the frame and components (remove the rocket and tanks), and get ready to use the VT ground station for operations along with AMSAT. I believe we will know before the 2017 fiscal year, but AMSAT's are ready to say yes as is VT.
I love both of these guys Peter and Andrew. Be grateful after I get the USG to say yes.

You didn't want any. So take a tip. Figure out how to involve the better half!

This One made me chuckle. My Wife calls my small sat antenna system on the side of my house here in NJ an 'Aberration', and then says, you're not planning on putting something like that up at our Florida home are you? Good luck with that Jerry :-)
