The Oscar and P3 amateur satellite projects are described. The P3 satellites are intended for elliptical orbits with high altitude (Molnija Orbits). This was chosen to optimize communication coverage. A total of three P3 satellites so far have been built and launched on Ariane. Future plans are discussed.
