You might want to check with some of the "low-cost ELV" companies. I know that at least Microcosm and Aeroastro have both developed fairly low-cost IMU/GPS guidance packages that are supposedly good enough to fly an ELV all the way to orbit. In at least Microcosm's case, I know that they supposedly cost less than $30k. That's a heck of a lot for ameteurs, but might be within your reach if it really is as good as they were making it sound. At least, it's worth taking a look. They may be willing to finagle down a bit. ~Jon _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
