New Ham Birds? For the long term...

[AD7N]

What new amateur radio satellites are slated for launch in the next few years?

With AO-Echo going silent, then Envisat it seems like we're loosing them faster than we're replacing them

Of course, there are *still* plenty to work!! There are still a number of hamsats that are alive.

This is a long-term question.

'Envisat" apparently had no Amateur Radio capabilities, so its apparent demise is really of no consequence to Amateur operators.

Alas, poor AO-51. I knew you well..." (With apologies to Billy Shakespeare.)

I somehow goofed on the Envisat reference, must have read the wrong chart.
