AMSAT News Service Bulletin 137.06 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. May 16, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-137.06
AMSAT's Mission and Vision statements specifically call for partnership and
cooperation with the educational community. In support of that effort Rick
Hambly, W2GPS, Board Member and Executive Vice President and Art Feller,
W4ART, Treasurer traveled to Cornell University to provide presentations
about amateur satellites to the Engineering College.
Art, a retired F.C.C. electrical engineer, presented "Frequency Planning
101". Art outlined how radio use grew from "do anything you want" to the
first international technical treaty, through the recent explosion into the
very complex radio-dependent world we live in today. It's a story of
international cooperation across modern history, illustrating how culture
and language affect all aspects of engineering.
Rick, presented "The AMSAT-OSCAR-E (Echo) Satellite Project". Rick gave an
end-to-end view of the project, design, construction and launch plans of
this leading-edge satellite.
[ANS thanks Art, W4ART and Rick, W2GPS for the above information]
