I have been in the hobby for over 12 years now and I've played around a bit with working the sats, but I haven't been following the geosynchronous satellite activity very closely since I've seen how difficult it is to get launches of any kind.

Now that it appears that we are going to get to launch a satellite into geosynchronous orbit, I'm curious what the future may hold for that particular activity. For example, I think it's fantastic that we will soon have a sat in geo orbit, but I'm curious what if any plans are there to potentially put up 2 or 3 more geo sats with full time linking between them? That has the potential to give the ham radio community global communications via satellite.

Any thoughts or news on that front?? Or am I just not informed enough on existing plans?

Thanks and 7 3,
