He says working with the CRC will have been good experience, despite some regrets. FedSat will not be launched in time for Elias to have seen his system, the best in the world, operational. It ll have been simulated and analysed, it s not going to be experimentally distant on a satellite, which is disappointing. But FedSat has been a learning experience for lots of people, including myself. I think part of the challenge has been that a lot of players from all over the country try to coordinate their work.
Resources are very limited.
But I guess it s a learning experience. Elias would prefer to work in Australia, but he knows that might not be possible. Whatever he does, he ll be acclaimed for his world-class Doppler work, and he ll have benefitted from working so closely on a real project.
