Please don't take the discussion off-line. If people don't want more on this, they can always hit the next key, or use the topic summary page to move through postings. The information is definitely on topic, imo. Best, JS

I don't see the need to continue this particular discussion (on Isp, delta-v, etc.) I was merely trying to state a point that satellites are designed with an eye toward all life limited items expected to become depleted at the same time. I think you would agree with that, and I suggest we move on. You sound quite knowledgeable about the communication aspect of the satellite. That is one place I know little about. I glad to see you contribute to the board. Let's see... Goodboy made a statement that I* had stringent station keeping requirements. He's right. But, they are also smart people.

Packet is somewhat understated. They sent quite a lot of information. I had filled out a form on the G* website to request info about becoming a customer. I was glad to see that I got the packet from Airtouch and not from G*, and that the information was complete. It estimated retail cost of about $1.50 to $2.00 per minute, and also stated I would be contacted by a distributor in the summer time frame to see if I wanted to buy a phone. Mr A
