Initially tests will be conducted with an Active communication satellite boosted by an Alloa age Nab rocket into a circular orbit 6,000 Miles High. This first phase will test the Power Supply attitude control tracking telemetry and command subsystems. Also Orbital functions and communications tests will be Gen William m.
