AMSAT News Service Bulletin 179.01 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. June 27, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-179.01
All,
I had a talk today with a returning member of the team that went to the
Launch site, In summary he told me that ECHO has now been integrated
onto the launch vehicle and we are awaiting Launch which will is
scheduled to take place around NOON local time at the launch site on
Tuesday the 29th of June. As the Launch site is some 10 hours ahead of
Eastern Daylight Time (USA and Canada) this means we should have some
knowledge of the mission success -when we wake up that morning. Our
ECHO Launch fund stands at $97,450 today (June 23) can we get it to the
$100K by launch time?. Phone in to add to the total (301-589-6062).
Are you looking for up to date information on ECHO? if so call the
Office and ask Martha to send you a copy of the new Book "ECHO,
Operation, Development and Specifications" by Gould Smith WA4SXM, it is
quite inexpensive and contains all you may want to know about this new
bird.
Yes! Martha takes orders over the Phone, if you have a suitable credit
Card Available.
Demand for the book is strong so we have just had extra copies printed
for you. Frequencies, data rates, etc are all included. There is even
some information on the Baikonur Launch site in Kazakhstan, together
with pictures of ECHO's construction trays.
More news as it comes in .....
