Also looks like they are going to change the antenna config, and get rid of the rocket motor and propellant tank. I find that good because it reduces weight and complexity, and more space for payloads, And yes nothing is certain! :)... I'd rather have a HEO than a GEO, At least you can actually still move your antennas and work diffrent locations rather than a fixed location. And if they are going to move forward they need to make it so the batterys run off the panels when they die. Its quite sad its been sitting in storage for 7 years now, hopefully the goverment will help.
