<div dir="auto">What was the true history of the AO-27 project before and after AMRADs involvement? I am not trying to identify persons, just wanted to know how it came about, the program resources and cost, and what it achieved for AMRAD group.

<div>When AMRAD was building AO-27, there was an alleged, completely
single-sourced, unverified report that alligator clip lead cables were used
within the satellite (per AMRAD tradition). Those involved, especially
Sandy, kept saying that those reports were not necessarily accurate. It is
understood that the DoD is sending a crew up to “recover” AO-27 and answer this
question once and for all. Mulder and Scully are suiting up for this
mission.</div>
