I made it at best a theoretical 15-20 watts from a 3U with deployable panels but having less solar power only extends the time it takes to get to the target orbit, it still gets there in the end. > Getting +-3kg to GTO is a $100.000? I reckon the cost of a launch to get a 3U just to a 700 km LEO could be about $150-200,000 but still affordable. 73 Trevor M5AKA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
