George Wood relayed in a message to All:
 GW> commitments. (AMSAT News Service via Curt Swinehart) Phase 3D was
 GW> supposed to launch on the 2nd Ariane 5 test flight. While Amsat has
 GW> been far too diplomatic to complain (they need a launch), ESA and
 GW> Arianespace seem to have double-crossed them, moving launch dates
 GW> in such a way as to make Phase 3D's inclusion impossible.
Perhaps it's time for the Amateur Community to raise it's
collective voice and have a word with ESA and AS.  Is there
and email address for same where some of us might drop a few
polite but pointed comments regarding their appearant attitude
towards getting the 3D project off the ground ???
Sincerely,
