I saw this video on the planned 5/10GHz planned launch with the geo payload through Virginia Tech.
I couldn't find much other details other than the video. Does anybody else here know the status on this satellite? I'm a student at New Mexico Tech, and would like to try to get something setup through our radio club as soon as this satellite is launched, so if this thing is for sure going to happen, I would like to start the search for equipment and have something going when this satellite is ready to be launched.

Hi Skyler,
The space payload for AMSAT Phase 4 is being developed at Virginia Tech. Working in parallel, AMSAT volunteers are developing a ground station package. The team produces video update reports on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=amsat+phase+4 is a link that should be a good starting point.
