[amsat-bb] Re: Up coming launch? Kiwisat

[Emily Clarke]

On first examination that doesn't appear to be THE KiwiSat being 
developed by AMSAT-ZL - it looks more like a cubesat since it's being 
launched with a group of them  When I talked to Ian at the Symposium 
he was talking more like a 2008 launch for their satellite.  But who 
knows - things change quickly these days.
