Sorry Domenico, At this point having a "positive meeting" does nothing for P3-E. P5 is only a valid option in the future if it is designed for a moon orbit. The Mars option is an amateur radio user nightmare and ill conceived. Any CubeSat will do more for us than a P5 around Mars because of the hardware requirements for the majority of amateur radio satellite operators. Thanks, but I believe it when I see it and I don't see it and that's why I stopped to support it.
