[amsat-bb] Re: Indian high-orbit satellite?

[Nitin Muttin [VU3TYG]]

All,

Thank you for the appreciative note on our efforts for HAMSAT II and the
development of space technology in our country. We are aware of the
challenges that we face in realising a Amateur Radio satellite in MEO or GTO
orbit and we are making all possible efforts to make this a reality.The team
at AMSAT INDIA is also on the learning curve at this moment hence we would
like to keep it simple until we gain expertise on developing additional
innovative capabilities on payloads. Comments like these and the achivements
of other AMSAT organizations are a motivation factor for us to pursue our
plans for the benefit of the global amateur radio fraternity.

We shall keep you all updated on the progress.

73's
Nitin [VU3TYG]
Secretary, AMSAT INDIA.

gee whiz stuff on their birds...just solid transponders.  Indian aerospace
seems to be a pleasant mix of &quot;Russian&quot; practicality and American
perfection...at least so far
