glad-rag,

How much does it cost to put a 30kg pay-load into a geo static orbit, then maintain that orbit for, say, 72 months?

Chucking a bunch off 1-30kg cubes in to low earth orbit is not quite the same as geo-stationary. If you can put multiple UAVs into a sub-space geo position hold, jobs a good 'un. No?
