[amsat-bb] Re: Submrine launch

[Assi Friedman <assib@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't recall the small details, but as far as I remember about a year ago a
15kg payload
was launched into orbit from a submarine.

Hi:
     Something I have wondered about for years is whether or not it would be
possible for a submarine to put a satellite in orbit.  Obviously their
primary
missions are sub-orbital but would such a missle system (Trident, etc.) have
any
orbital capacity?  Any ideas?  Thanks!
