Taos

The proposed Taos system was to be comprised of 5-12 spacecraft in circular 1,248 km altitude orbits with a 57.1 degree inclination. The 152 kg spacecraft, similar to S80/T, would be centered on a bus of 0.65 m x 0.65 m x 0.80 m and four 2-m-long solar panels. The VHF payload would account for up to 60 kg. However, Taos did not receive French government support, and the S80/T spacecraft was offered to the International Space University (References 58-63).
