We are 100% committed to returning to HEO. That is the goal of AMSAT GOLF. Please donate at https://www.amsat.org/donate/ if you’d like to see it happen.

As far as soliciting corporate support, conversations do occur, but have not been fruitful.

Paul Stoetzer, N8HM Executive Vice President AMSAT

I’ve enjoyed AO10 tremendously. I have zero interest in a GEO satellite. I liked the challenge of an elliptical orbit and the long chats I could have. The LEO satellites are a bit boring. A two second exchange of grid squares yuck. I’d be happy to contribute to a HEO satellite or a shared commercial amateur payload as a life member of AMSAT I’m interested in it succeeding but I lose interest in these LEO cube says quickly. I echo the concerns that AMSAT is not lobbying Space X or Virgin for support. Please stop saying if your TSgt interested join us.... why should I need to your already in the leadership role responsible for just such activities. Please help us I understand why this isn’t already happening???? Peter W2PP
