I doubt it was ever feasible, if I understand it correctly there are even issues with shipping rechargable batteries up there let alone a rocket. Also with regards to ISS bear in mind buying astronauts time to do anything would cost a fortune. They are employed by their respective organizations to work up there. Getting CubeSat's to MEO or HEO will depend on developing propulsion, fold-out solar panels, and even CubeSat directional antennas - I wonder could a 2m 2 ele Yagi be incorporated into a 3U CubeSat ? 73 Trevor M5AKA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
