[amsat-bb] Re: Any update on P3E?

[John B. Stephensen]

I don't think that it is due to ITAR as there are enough Europeans available 
to complete the satellite. AMSAT-DL is trying to get government funding for 
the Mars mission (P5A) for which P3E will be a testbed. They haven't made 
any announcement about securing funding and now the EU appears to be in 
worse financial shape than the US.

P3 as I understand it if back shelved for now due to ITAR issues.

I am wondering if there is any update to the status of P3E?

I have not seen any mention of it for a long time and wondering if it is
built and ready to launch or has the project been put on "hold" because of
launch expenses?

Any update would be appreciated!
