Either way you must be completely fine with the idea of loosing the satellite at launch... There's a reason it would be discounted, heritage brings premiums!

But bear in mind the rocket has never flown before and it intends to use a launch facility that doesn't exist yet.

I suspect they'll still want $10 million or so, but yes it's good to see more launch providers entering the market.

Hallo Alle

Dies k?nnte auch eine geeignete Rakete f?r unseren P3E sein: http://www.alcantaracyclonespace.com/en/about/launch-vehicle

Damit w?re die Finanzierungsfrage nat?rlich immer noch nicht gel?st.

Hello All

I'm a member of AMSAT-DL since many years, since the days of AO-10 and AO-13. My understanding was and is, that AMSAT looks for discounted and cheaper launches and is aware of launch failures at first launches. So I agree with Bryce. We have to be realistic, nobody want to pay 10M $ for a launch. We also have to be patient, its Peter's long time goal to bring P3E into a HEO.
