Hi Mark, The future of satellite operation around our world is about to change significantly. For example study http://www.darpa.mil/NewsEvents/Releases/2011/10/20.aspx Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. In the near future many organisations will have large networks of inter-cooperating cheap small satellites. There will be repair satellites and junk collecting satellites. There will be satellite parts raiding satellites. There will be conflicits over orbit space. There will be disputes over collisions. Amateur Radio organisations will need funds to protect our rights in space. Amateur Radio organisations must use there present rights to space to keep those rights.

Yes it all comes down to money!

So you all aren't going to help unless they "pay" you? Wow. Now who seems like it's all about the money :)

I've been helping with JUGNU, SRMSAT, RAX-2, etc. because it's FUN for me. And, they need the help.

Take the HIGH road!
