Subject: [Ground-station] GEO tests?

I’m thinking about privately funding “Rent-a-GEO” and moving forward with GEO transmission tests for ORI.

This project got turned down for funding by FEMA (very reluctantly) and ARDC (this was a very painful rejection given the growing QO-100 gap).

But, watching M17 get support from ESA for a more rudimentary and extremely short test, and getting repeated renewed requests from North America, and having some sincere energy and offers of real hardware from the for-profit sector…

Maybe it’s time to simply make it happen, and hope it’s not ruinously expensive.

Comments and critique? Where else to apply?

Here’s the most recent grant application: https://www.openresearch.institute/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Rent-a-GEO-Phase-4-Space.pdf<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openresearch.institute%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F10%2FRent-a-GEO-Phase-4-Space.pdf&data=04%7C01%7C%7C6317722f7304402f29c608d94bb03498%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637624042441828550%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Gd%2FZxLx7j63lbc3lc0HYFY%2FETLcStlp5bROTM3cYP9o%3D&reserved=0>
