>> Greetings all,
>>
>> We have an opportunity to present a HEO proposal to JAMSAT.
>>
>> They want a HEO. They need more engineers and volunteers. We have core
>> technology and technical volunteers.
>>
>> Attached is a presentation from Jan King from the 2014 AMSAT-NA
>> Symposium. There was a workshop and presentation. I know several people on
>> the list were there.
>>
>> I'd like  to take this proposal (attached) and *update it for 2022*. This
>> will be an open source project, open to international collaboration, and
>> everyone that can follow our code of conduct and comply with our
>> participant and developer guidelines is welcome to join.
>>
>> We'll have a weekly "office hours" meetup. Day and time will most likely
>> be Monday evening US Pacific starting out. First meetup will be this coming
>> Monday, 1 August 2022.
>>
>> We have a $50,000 pledge for funding (if the proposal is accepted). This
>> is a good start! There are many other opportunities for fundraising once we
>> have a viable proposal. Fundraising will be challenging but not impossible.
>>
>> There is a lot of work that needs to be done before presenting to JAMSAT,
>> but we're well within reach and we are capable of delivering a very good
>> result. P4DX and other project work will be included.
>>
>> If you are not familiar with JAMSAT, they are the national Japanese
>> amateur satellite organization. We have presented our work at their
>> Symposium, they have been gracious and generous hosts, they support open
>> source, and have a friendly and active membership. The JAMSAT newsletter is
>> outstanding.
>>
>> We are weakest on thermal design, but we did get some familiarity with
>> basic modeling using Thermal Desktop.
>>
>> We are second-weakest on propulsion, with our focus being on
>> synchronization techniques for electric motors. You may have noticed our
>> fundraiser to build an application for the patent we have been allowed to
>> use/exploit from GWU.
>>
>> We are strongest on digital communications.
>>
>> I expect we will leverage a lot of workflow know-how from Libre Space
>> Foundation and others.
>>
>> We need a name for the project and a logo! If you're inspired to get
>> creative, please share your ideas.
>>
>> Thank you,
>> -Michelle Thompson
