This launch failure is unfortunate. The COMETS sat sounds like it would be testing some new technologies, which helps out everyone. Ka band and intersatellite links will be part of Cyberstar for Loral. Kaisuke Ozawa senior engineer with NEC's COMETS group, said, COMETS is an experimental satellite aimed at developing new technologies in the communications and broadcasting fields and will feature three main missions: Inter-satellite communications; advanced broadcasting communications; and advanced mobile satellite communications. In addition, NASDA will use continue to use COMETS as a test bed for the development of a large scale bus systems for large communication satellites. The inter-satellite communications mission will feature a 3.6 meter, and operate in the Ka- and C-bands for inter-satellite communications, and the Ka-band for feeder link transmissions to ground-based stations. The advanced satellite broadcasting experiment will use a 2.3 meter antenna broadcasting in the Ka-band, and the mobile communications experiment will use a 2.2 meter antenna broadcasting in the Ka- and Millimeter bands.

Valueman, I had my telescope pointing the other way sorry. Wow, $366 million gone poof, just like that. No wonder GSTRF price went up when the satellites were apparently okay - there is more risk to this launching than I had thought. Just as well the MAD theory was never tested - imagine nukes landing half way to and from Russia. Remember they thought they'd land nukes on each others hardened siloes? Fond hopes. Bennett, I knew you'd know that the share value wouldn't change - I was just copy and pasting the quote about another GSTRF share split. It's hard to keep communications clear in this Webworld.
