Hi Bob,
I heard about you request on the Amsat BB for a 10M to uhf transponder. Can
you give me some additional data on the dc input supply and sensitivity for
the 10M link? Also do you have an assigned transmit frequency yet? I have
built several 10M to VHF true linear translators which have

Astronaut Luca was just heard wonderfully here in Southern California,
answering inquiries.
Couldn't hear a peep on Echolink. And the live audio feed page cited
was not loading at all. BUT it sounded great on the downlonk!

what would be entertaining would be marketing the Phase 3 E bus or at least
parts of it to various educational institutions that want to do more science
then a cubesat can do...or maybe some place, like a lunar libration point that
a cubesat cannot go. the Mars thing is never going to happen
there are possibilities however, SpaceX is going to do at least one full and
one semi test flight on the heavy...the semi test flight is for the USAF and
they are carrying ballast...and the final stage has to do a disposal burn RGO

What is realistically achievable with a 3U cubesat with an ion engine?
Cost of the satellite?
Cost of the launch?
Time/cost to develop ion engine?
How many month/years would it take for an ion engine to boost a 3U
cubesat from 600 km to 2000 km?
What is the altitude limit for an ion engine?
Trust me, no one out there wants me to be more totally wrong about P3-E
than myself but my guess is that it will never ever see space. I want to
be wrong soo bad but I'm a realist.

As far as I know, the kick-motors used on the Phase-3 birds were NOT
cardboard tubes packed with homemade gunpowder. They were commercial
grade motors obtained from the commercial aerospace industry. If I am
wrong about this, and someone can jump in with facts, I'd be glad to hear.

Not to single out Michael on this, but I need to chime in. Realism has
its place, but it also has its dangers. Too much of it, and you just
might get your way.
At work, several major programs were behind schedule. The teams were

Well had a done my time conversion correctly my alarm would have gone off an

We will try it again on the one later in the week.

Greg,
Great story - I love it!
To pick a service, the Marines have what is
called CAN DO attitude - they have a great
history of achievement. If all you have is
CAN'T DO, you won't. Certainly one must know
the fights to pick and those to

After a few misfires, I worked Yuri today on AO-7 Mode B. He is anchored pretty
close to the GF24/GF25 line, offshore from Montevideo, Uruguay. He reported
GF24, so using GF24ex as his location, the Tiny Locator program says 7585 km,
or 4737 miles to my QTH.
I tried a few times last week, but

I don't think we'll ever be in a position to buy a launch the most we
will ever be able to do is hope to piggy-back with a paying customer and
possibly contribute to expenses.
$8,000,000 is our expected contribution to the expenses. The actual launch
cost is in the hundreds of millions.
Maybe

Not quite.
I work for a commercial launch provider, and the cost to put a large
satellite (DirecTV or Intelsat) into GTO is $95~$110 million, inclusive.
You ship it to us, and we'll get it into space at the correct injection
point.
If I recall,the amateur satellite community were instrumental in
pioneering the 'secondary payload' concept. Pity nobody thought to
patent the idea!
