Another (more serious) possibility.
Forget GTO and negotiate a low cost launch on one of the remaining 5 Vega
development flights (1500km?)
Then use propulsion to get to MEO.
Better than sitting on the ground and it tests the propulsion systems and
software for P5A
Sounds like an idea. It seems for the future, having out own
propulsion is going to be a must, and yes, it is rocket science and
we're just gonna have to make it work.
