AMSAT News Service Bulletin 114.01
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
April 24, 2005
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-114.01
AMSAT's External Relations Team handles AMSAT interactions with outside
groups such as government agencies, educational groups as well as other
amateur radio and AMSAT groups around the World. This Team has been
busy preparing for several upcoming events.
Work is continuing in support of the petition for reconsideration AMSAT
filed regarding orbital debris. Refining our positions as well as
resolving some highly divergent model predictions are some of the issues
being worked. No time line for action has been set by the FCC yet,
however AMSAT must be ready to respond promptly when asked.
Preparations are also underway for several upcoming conferences. The
Small Payload Ridesharing Conference will be held in Denver this year.
The focus of this conference is developing increased launch
opportunities for small satellites and secondary payloads. Another
upcoming event is the combined Cubesat workshop and Small Satellite
Conference in August. This year AMSAT will have a table in the
exhibitor area at the conference. Planning for materials, demos and
volunteers is now underway.
A final area that will be getting additional attention in upcoming
months is developing an "educational program" for AMSAT. Several ideas
have been proposed. Exactly how this will develop will depend greatly
on the passions brought to the program by those who volunteer. Anyone
interested in helping in this area is encouraged to contact Lee McLamb,
KU4OS, at ku4os@amsat.org
