Re: Launch Costs (was-re: AMSAT-BB Digest, Vol. 7, Issue 312)
Specific question. Has AMSAT approached SpaceX for a "good cause" launch? RGO WB5MZO
Yes. We went to them, and they came to us to talk about DragonLab.
Keep in mind both ARISSat and now Fox have had "good cause" launches provided, but strictly due to the educational component.

Are we pursing the Dragon lab option? Robert WB5MZO

They weren't offering a free launch on Dragonlab. See my previous post about pricing.
This is about as much as I'm going to say on the topic at this point. If you have a real, hard lead, please share it with me or another director or officer privately.
