[amsat-bb] Videos of P3E Announcement and FO-29 Satellite Demo

[Paul Stoetzer]

Lennart,

The proposal would have the satellite launched directly into a 63
degree inclination Molniya orbit, so there would be no need for the
kick motor. As discussed in the presentation, the need to change the
orbit from the initial geosynchronous transfer orbit has always been
an obstacle. AO-10 didn't make it to the right orbit, AO-13 made it
pretty close to the targeted orbit, but the orbit it ended up in
turned out to be unstable, and, of course, AO-40's engine problems
severely damaged the satellite.

73,

Paul, N8HM
