[amsat-bb] Ham radio on CSLI missions

[Scott Richardson]

The 11th round of candidate selections has been made for the CubeSat Launch
Initiative.

The brief descriptions shared in the NASA release don't include specific
mention of any amateur radio applications. Does this mean that none of
these cubesats will carry a repeater/transponder, or that *if* they will
(or might) that fact is not mentioned?

Or, to ask another way, if a CSLI applicant decides it wants to incorporate
an amateur repeater or transponder, is it "too late" if that mission
element is not included in the original application?
