Ham Satellite Tracking Program

For me, the past two months have been fairly intense. I attended the Duke City Hamfest in New Mexico, visited Gordon West in Costa Mesa, drove to Virginia and flew to Heathrow to be at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium in Milton Keynes, England, returned to Maryland for the ARISS-I Conference, spent a week in the AMSAT Office in Kensington, and then headed to the William A.

Tynan W3XO Memorial Space Symposium and General Meeting in Huntsville, AL, before returning back out West for the holidays. My first year as AMSAT President has come to an end, and at the AMSAT Board of Director’s meeting, I was elected to my second one-year term as AMSAT President.

The two-year and five-year plans are to include the AMSAT Office, AMSAT’s Golden Anniversary, and the GOLF projects. The 10-year plan will be quite flexible, basically suggestions to be refined and/or changed.

Some of my major tasks this year will be to complete the member database update, promote international cooperation for both ARISS and AMSAT, policies, and AMSAT’s Golden Jubilee at Hamvention and Symposium. The Huntsville team did a fantastic job this year at an exceptional venue, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

Thanks go out to the Symposium team headed up by Chairman Robert Bankston, KE4AL! About The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, or AMSAT, is a worldwide group of Amateur Radio Operators (Hams).

It was formed in the District of Columbia in 1969 as an educational organization. For over 49 years AMSAT groups in North America and elsewhere have played a key role in significantly advancing the state of the art in space science, space education, and space technology.

The work now being done by AMSAT volunteers throughout the world will continue to have far-reaching, positive effects on the future of both Amateur Radio, as well as other governmental, scientific and commercial activities in the final frontier. Rarely have a group of “amateur” volunteers managed to do so muchfor so manywith so little. Mission AMSAT’s goal is to foster Amateur Radio’s participation in space research and communication. The Organization was founded to continue the efforts, begun in 1961, by Project, a west coast USA-based group which built and launched the very first Amateur Radio satellite, OSCAR, on December 12, 1961, barely four years after the launch of Russia’s first Sputnik. Today, the “home-brew” flavor of these early Amateur Radio satellites lives on, as most of the hardware and software now flying on even the most advanced AMSAT satellites is still largely the product of volunteer effort and donated resources. Though we are fond of traditions our designs and technology continue to push the outside of the envelope.
