I suspect you are reading too much into the statement, or applying an
unintended interpretation to what was said/written.
In any hardware or software deployment, ham radio or otherwise, there can
never be enough testing. That was my interpretation of the statement.

THANK YOU for your reply.
But the fact that we have two entirely different, valid interpretations of the
same paragraphÂ
means - to me - that it needed to be more clearly explained.

Hi Nick,

My thoughts regarding the two launch possibilities:
I hope that, if given the choice, that AMSAT sticks with ELaNa-12. The
11 year orbit and 780 km apogee is much better than an apogee in the
600 km range and a 6.5 year orbital life. Given that Fox-1 is the
first amateur satellite designed for
Given that Fox-1 is the first amateur satellite designed for it's batteries
to eventually die,
we should give it the opportunity!
I know I'm being picky here but it's the first FM voice CubeSat to be designed
for operation after battery failure. DO-64 (Delfi-C3) has always been operating
One hard and fast rule in the space launch industry:
Everyone remembers a launch failure, no one will remember a launch delay.
Delays suck, it's a hell of a lot better than blowing up. The launch
industry is largely binary, you either fully succeed or fail. This is at
least the perspective of
Hi Paul,

Hold on. Not once did I ever suggest that ANY satellite was easy to
build. I very much respect the effort, research, testing, etc. that
goes into every one, be it a flying repeater or not. My reference to
the term easysats comes from Clint or one of his ilk that seems

OK I do apologize, as was pointed out I completely misread your wording in

building the satellite I stand corrected on your argument. Sorry!
