other ground tracking sites so they can keep the onboard camera feeds

deployment on this one, as it would have been a perfect coda to what
appears to be a perfect mission.

Even if that satellite's just up there to provide Malaysia with all
the pr0n they can eat...:-P


It would be interesting to know if they've made any progress on
recovering the first stage for re-use, or if they've dumped the concept
in favor of increased payload capability.
