In addition most cubsats just buy prebut of commercial modules
(clydespace...) so those teams have to do little actual engineering. Those
teams however are limited I. Their scope for the future whereas AMSAT-NA is
developing the basic building blocks of heir own platform to build on. I.

Wait, if my math is right that means a total of $13,324 has gone through

I think everyone on this list should play Kerbal Space Program (

sub-orbital flight is easy, orbit however is not... It's actually realistic
enough to learn orbital mechanics but fun enough to enjoy as a game... It's

The modular SDR board for universities is exactly what Fox-1 and Fox-2 (as
well as future Fox's) aim to do! Unfortunatly noone here will get details
on the current specs or design due to ITAR restrictions but if you become
part of the Fox project engineers you'll see what's going on.

On a side note but still relevant, support the advancement of space vehicle
technology and cheaper access to space! I hate to sound biased the
commercial space industry is taking off (no pun intended) and the more
commercial competition there is and less Cost-Plus contracts the better.

Although less bureaucratic companies/organizations will widdle down this
process considerably it still holds true. Once that rocket launches there
is no turning back,
There is so much variability in the footprint that #1 or #2 would probably
suffice. Working satellites on the fringes of AOS and LOS wheigh heavily on
your location, surroundings, and equipments that it's impractical, it's
just a visual references that shows relative satellite reception.
