Hello all,

I just ran across a set of slides from the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) entitled "CubeSat Experiments (QbX)". It appears the NRO is interested in the possibilities a CubeSat could their organization. As for AMSAT, have we approached the NRO related to what expertise AMSAT could provide? And more importantly, would it be possible to either gain access to a launch opportunity or include one or more of our (RF?) modules into one of their CubeSats? It just seems that if the NRO is serious about pursuing CubeSat, AMSAT should be involved.
