Hi Amsaters
The AMSAT leadership has it right. Placing the Fox design in the public
domain is a fantastic idea. You can't catch a fish without putting a baited
line in the water.
The next step HEO one path is find an aero student who will prefect a new
propulsion system. The educational

excuses excuses, sounds like obama blaming Bush .Lets face guys It looks like
the future of the ham satellite is almost over due to cost of a launch.We can
all type fancy excuses all day long about this subject and still get no where .

If AMSAT becomes or has become just another customer of launchers then you
are probably correct and even more so the future for realsats ie ones that
actually do communications is bleak.
I am sort of surprised that this is the thought ...if here in Houston we had

You are going to be used for my generic rant, it's not personal. I can get
away with this because I have no official role.
AMSAT here and elsewhere has NO desire to become just another customer for
exactly the reasons you describe. It amazes me that anyone thinks we don't
know this.
the aos in winaos program is about 12 min. before the actual aos. Being
slightly digitally challenged I am having a problem figuring it out.

When you start WINAOS, make sure it's using the SAME keps file as in
SatPC32. You have to choose it in both programs

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.

we have all heard the old expression: there's no such thing as a
free lunch!
the AMSAT version is: There's no such thing as a free launch!
I always wondered why they had that digital burst at the end of the the
AO27 timer? to help soothe us!
What will they think of next? The wonders never

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.
