After more than 7 years of faithful service, it has apparently hosted its last QSO due to battery failure. Now more than ever, we need an affordable replacement. Why two satellites? The original Fox Engineering Team Study was for a baseline satellite, with several options for enhancements. At that time, AO-51 was functioning well, with no indication that its lifetime would be short enough to impact the Fox Project. With the impending loss of AO-51, it was decided to break the Fox Project up into a quickly deployable baseline FM replacement satellite, Fox-1, and a second more flexible satellite, Fox-2. Fox-2 will benefit from the development work of the baseline Fox-1, with the addtional time being applied to developing its more sophisticated power and Software Defined Transponder (SDX) communications systems.
