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 without batteries and FUNcube-1 is designed to operate after battery failure. Sadly launch slips are a fact of life, even if you're paying top dollar as primary payload you can still have launch slips. Any launch dates quoted are the earliest possible date but actual launch may be many months or in some cases even years later. 73 Trevor M5AKA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
