------ Ruslan System The Ruslan communications system can place transponders in geosynchronous orbit for under $50M. That is about 20% of the normal cost for building and launching a communications satellite. OrbDev wants to meet with companies that need a less expensive solution to "hold" their orbital slots; spacecraft insurance companies that would like "on-orbit" spare capacity to reduce exposure to customer losses; and fledgling communications companies that need comsats with the the lowest cost.
