We are waiting on a decision whether or not to deploy the satellite as is, without the 70cm antenna. If, in fact, the 70cm antenna is missing, there would of course be no communications possible through the transponder. Translation: one more piece of space junk that is useless to the amateur radio community that helped pay for it! I guess I shouldn't be too upset. I'm sure there are many others that have much more invested than I do.
