[amsat-bb] Re: Tubesat, a $4,000 launch opportunity

[Greg Beat]

Seems like this Mojave, CA group already has a transmitter design in the amateur radio spectrum!

Each TubeSat kit includes the satellite’s structural components, safety hardware, solar panels, batteries, 
power management hardware and software,  transceiver, antennas, microcomputer, and the required programming tools. 
With these components alone, the builder can construct a satellite that puts out enough power to be picked up 
on the ground by a hand-held HAM radio receiver.

Seriously, if this is for real, I think AMSAT should get at the front
of the train and provide hardware, or hardware design, for those who
plan to use it.
