Dr. Perry Klein, W3PK reports that The Smithsonian National Museum of
American History has installed the Microsat Mechanical Test Model last
week so that it will be on display in time for AMSAT's 35th Anniversary
meetings. They suspended it from the ceiling outside the NN3SI
Smithsonian Amateur Radio Club station, located at "The Information Age"
exhibit on the first floor, West end of the American History Museum.
It's been a number of years since an OSCAR satellite has been on
continuous display at the Smithsonian. OSCAR 1 was in the Hall of
Satellites at the National Air and Space Museum for several years, but
has since been in storage at the Smithsonian's Garber Facility in
Suitland, Maryland. OSCAR 1 and PC-Sat are currently being readied for
display at the Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles
Airport when the Center's space exhibit hangar opens, expected soon.
[ANS thanks Perry, W3PK for the above information]
