For those who are still dreaming for a HEO in the mean time just check below you can have your own LEO/tube sat satellite for 8000$ launch included payable with the major credit card and you even have payment options!
I'm just waiting to see one of them on E-Bay As they said "TubeSats are designed to be orbit-friendly. Launches are expected to begin in December of 2010." Probably the replacing solution for our aging AMSAT-NA satellite fleet? Anyone with 8000$ can own his own satellite let me guess in a couple of years the same repeater frenzy will also reach the amateur satellite world. No more need of club or organization or IARU frequencies coordination . The perfect world... http://interorbital.com/TubeSat_1.htm "-" Luc Leblanc VE2DWE Skype VE2DWE www.qsl.net/ve2dwe DSTAR urcall VE2DWE WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
