Time is quickly approaching for the upcoming AMSAT Symposium to be held
November 4-6. This year's Symposium marks the 50th anniversary of the
launch of the first amateur radio satellite into space. The Symposium is
being held in San Jose, CA which is the home of Project OSCAR, the
organization that built amateur radio's first satellite. As part of our
commemoration, the ARRL is bringing an OSCAR 1 prototype which has been
refurbished to help highlight this significant milestone. Our banquet
speaker, Lance Ginner, K6GSJ was a member of the team that built OSCAR 1;
he subsequently was involved with a number of follow-on amateur radio
satellite projects. Lance's presentation promises to be a fascinating
look at the early days of amateur radio in space as well as perhaps some
lessons learned.
Along with recognizing this significant milestone, the Symposium is an
excellent opportunity to learn about the success of ARISSat-1 as well as
AMSAT's latest project, Fox and the steps that we're taking to continue to
keep amateur radio in space. There are some excellent presentations
scheduled that will cover the gamut from satellite engineering to
satellite operations to education outreach. This year's "Proceedings of
the AMSAT-NA Space Symposium and Annual Meeting", which is provided to
every Symposium attendee contains 21 papers and is over 250 pages in
length. While not all papers will be presented, there are also several
presentations scheduled to be presented where the material was not
finished in time for publication.
Along with the outstanding materials presented, Symposium offers a great
opportunity to meet the AMSAT leadership (the Board of Directors members
as well as Senior Officers), other satellite enthusiasts, and interact
with our volunteers who are involved with our engineering projects.
Symposium is both a presentation/educational opportunity as well as a
social event.
If you haven't yet registered for this year's Symposium, please consider
joining us. Details on the Symposium and registering can be found at:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium/2011/index.php Please note that
deadline for taking advantage of the block or rooms that AMSAT has
reserved expires on October 24, so time is indeed running out for making
your arrangements. The last time that AMSAT held a Symposium in
California was in 2006; this may be the best chance for AMSAT members and
others living on the West Coast to participate in a Symposium and have
direct interaction with the AMSAT leadership for some time. Hopefully,
those of you living in the Bay Area will take full advantage of this
opportunity. Alan Bowker, WA6DNR and his team have done a great job
preparing for an outstanding weekend in San Jose.
See ya in San Jose!
Barry Baines, WD4ASW
President-AMSAT
