Struck in 3mm thick brass, plated with antique silver, and\nfinished in bright enamel, the coin is scaled to be approximately 1:4 \nscale, or\n1 inch along each of the six sides. The reverse has the AMSAT Fox logo.\n\nCoins will also be made available to qualifying donors that have contributed\nsince the Fox-1C announcement on July 18, 2014 upon request. Donations \nmay be\nmade via the AMSAT website, via the FundRazr crowdsourcing app at\nhttp://fnd.us/c/6pz92/sh/561Zd, or via the AMSAT office at (888) 322-6728.\n\nThe Fox program is designed to provide a platform for university \nexperiments in\nspace, as well as provide FM repeater capability for radio amateurs \nworldwide.\nFox-1A and 1C are set to launch in 2015, and Fox-1B (also known as \nRadFXSat) is\nawaiting NASA ELANA launch assignment.
