AMSAT News Service Bulletin 033.01 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. FEBRUARY 2, 2003
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-033.01
It is with great sadness that I have learnt of the Columbia disaster.
AMSAT has always been a strong supporter of the Shuttle program and of
ARISS. We have had many interactions with the Astronauts who have fearlessly
ridden the shuttle into space, currently several are AMSAT members and
supporters.
On this sad occasion on behalf of the Board of Directors, Officers and
Members of AMSAT I wish to send our deep sympathy to the Families, Relatives
and Friends of those who undertook this Columbia mission, their
understanding of the risks taken on this and other missions did not prevent
them from performing at the highest level and unfortunately paying the
ultimate price.
To our friends at NASA, we at AMSAT send our understanding and our sympathy,
knowing that the exploration of space and carrying out important experiments
for the benefit of humanity will continue to be your mission.
Robin Haighton VE3FRH
President AMSAT
[ANS thanks Robin Haighton, VE3FRH, for the above information.]
