AMSAT will be taking part in Space Day, Thursday, May 5 at the
Smithsonian Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles
Airport. Hours are 10 AM - 2 PM for student groups, 2 - 4 PM for
the general public, and 4 - 9 PM for families. Parking will be free
that day.
We will have tables set up in the Space Hangar around the OSCAR
satellite display-case so we can explain how hams build and operate
satellites. We'll show CalPoly's Cubesat model and other small
satellite hardware, and we will also talk about OSCAR 1 and PCSat
located in the display-case.
We are hoping to have members of the ARISS team explain ARISS and
Naval Academy people explain PCSat.
If you haven't yet seen the new Space Hangar at the Udvar-Hazy
Center, May 5 is a perfect opportunity. The Museum is open to 9 PM
that day so you can visit after work, and parking (normally $12) is
free. It's also a chance to meet the Shuttle Return to Flight
astronauts and other VIP's.
