We're not going to see another satellite with a 144 MHz yagi.

Paul,
The problem is there aren't any global primary Amateur-Satellite microwave
bands below 24 GHz. While our allocations at 29 MHz and 144 MHz may be primary
world-wide the other
Spaceflight has released it's latest pricing for launching various
satellite sizes and orbit. Read it and weep. Pricing continues to rise.

The $295,000 for a 3U CubeSat to LEO (which presumably means a 600 km or lower
LEO) seems comparable with prices from others using proven launchers (typically
$100k for 1U).
It highlights the importance of partnering with others, such as Educational
establishments to defray costs.

The last time I saw this site, they did list prices for 1U and 2U
CubeSats. Wonder why they don't anymore.

Hi Paul,
Good question about the 1U and 2U.
I found the $650 mil for a 3U to GTO interesting. As Trevor says,
launch costs might not be out of reach if we can find some deep pocket
university partners. That would fall in line with the AMSAT strategy
of supporting the CMD/COMM side of a joint

Can some explain to me and others the big deal about cube sats?
I just dont get it.

Well John, right now they are the cheapest to build and launch...Bill -

The Wikipedia article on CubeSats
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat) has a very nice summary of why
they are the present and future of the small satellite industry:
The CubeSat specification accomplishes several high-level goals.
Simplification of the satellite's infrastructure makes it

True. That is a problem, though it's certainly a separate issue from
the design and construction of the satellite.
The best the amateur satellite community can do is cultivate
relationships with those who wish to use our frequencies and hopefully
receive some benefit. For example, several

Standardization! But the real payoff from standardization is REDUCED RISK
to the launch provider. Instead of having to micromanage every detail of
satellite design so that the launch provider can GURARANTEE

Innovation is often driven out of necessity. I see it everyday at work.
Develop a baseline system that works and then optimize it. You'd be amazed
what you could do with the small of a space to pack electronics into.

Absolutely! Micro-miniaturization!
But some things are difficult to miniaturize -- like a 144 MHz yagi.
