Hello All
After many discussions I launched a poll for a new OSCAR. AMSAT representatives are invited to evaluate this poll. This poll can also be a base for further discussions.
If you want a new satellite/OSCAR wich payload/communication mode should it have?
o Telemetry Beacon o Packet Radio Mailbox/Digipeater o FM Repeater o Linear Transponder o Educational payload o Other payload/mode
After a month I will continue with the two most chosen choices with a new poll until I close the whole run.
If you are not a member of the Yahoo Group EU_AMSAT, please visit the web page http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/EU_AMSAT/ and join the group. We also have interesting discussions there.
Thank You for your attention.
That is easy!. The answer is of course ALL OF THE ABOVE.
The hard part is what can get built by whom. And who is in the best position to FUND it and get it launched. And then all the polls in the world mean nothing against what -that-person or entity wants or needs. And that is what drives what we "get".
Instead of asking what do we "want", maybe a more useful poll might be "what can you build us?" Just an aside. <wink>

Wel that is easy too, you can grab a off the shelf cubesat from from one of the shops including the power system and put a pe1ruh space proven linear transponder in it. now the next question would be funding and flying and that gets us back to what do the funding people want.
