[amsat-bb] Re: Eagle & P3E status?

[Bob McGwier]

The front cover of the latest AMSAT-DL Journal shows the internally 
nearly complete P3e.  It is truly an international debacle that this 
continues to sit in storage in Marburg when there is a plethora of 
launch capacity around the world to put this thing up.

We need a low friend in a high place more than ever in our history.
