Just wondering if anyone has the thread about the status of P3E and Eagle. I have been away for six years and am rebuilding the station now. Just trying to figure out what gear to build for what birds. Thanks in advance, Chad kg0mw - EN13
There in no launch date for either. There are no more inexpensive launches available from ESA so the AMSATs are trying to get non-amateur funding to pay for HEO launches. Assume LEO satellites for the next few years as launch costs are much lower. CAMSAT just launched one, AMSAT-NA plans on launching two and there are others in the works.

The front cover of the latest AMSAT-DL Journal shows the internally nearly complete P3e. It is truly an international debacle that this continues to sit in storage in Marburg when there is a plethora of launch capacity around the world to put this thing up.
We need a low friend in a high place more than ever in our history.

Hi Bob, N4HY
Can you indicate to us satellite users where is the plethora of launch capacity in the world to actually launch P3E up ? Plethora means " overabundance"
