[amsat-bb] P3E - progress ???

[Paul Stoetzer]

As reported at Dayton in May 2016, the US government opportunity to launch
P3E did not materialize. I am not sure if AMSAT-DL has been pursuing any
other leads to launch P3E as they have been involved with the P4A project
aboard the Es'HailSat-2 geostationary satellite scheduled to launch in
2018. If anyone has a spare $15 million to take P3E to GTO, please contact
AMSAT-DL!

As far as the Fox series:

Fox-1D is scheduled to launch in January from India on PSLV-C40.
Fox-1Cliff is scheduled to launch on Spaceflight's SSO-A mission aboard a
Falcon 9 later in 2018.
RadFxSat-2 (Fox-1E) is scheduled to launch as part of the NASA ELaNa XX
mission aboard Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne in 2018.

Other AMSAT projects:

Virginia Tech continues to pursue opportunities for the P4B project to
geosynchronous orbit.
The GOLF project for CubeSat missions to a wide variety of orbits,
including potentially to HEO, is in its initial stages.
