    "content": "AMSAT NEWS SERVICE\nANS-290\n\nThe AMSAT News Service bulletins are a free, weekly news and infor-\nmation service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite\nCorporation. ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space\nincluding reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur\nRadio operators who share an active interest in designing, building,\nlaunching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio\nsatellites.\n\nThe news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur\nRadio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it.\n\nPlease send any amateur satellite news or reports to:\nans-editor at amsat.org.\n\nIn this edition:\n\n* Design the Next AMSAT Satellite!\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-290.01\nANS-290 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 290.01\n>From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.\nDATE October 17, 2014\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-290.01\n\n\nDesign the Next AMSAT Satellite!\n\nAt the 2014 AMSAT Space Symposium AMSAT Vice President - Engineering\nJerry Buxton announced the plan for the next generation of AMSAT\nsatellites.  \"The door is open for everyone, to submit their ideas.\nAMSAT Engineering has a long term strategy and this is the first step.\"\n\nThe Engineering long term strategy includes the following goals\n\n* Advancement of amateur radio satellite technical and\n      communications skills\n* Enhance international goodwill\n* Grow and sustain a skilled pool of amateur radio satellite engineers\n* Establish and maintain partnerships with educational institutions\n* Develop a means to use hardware common to all opportunities\n\nWith respect to the last goal Jerry said \"Within the bounds of the\ntype of satellite it takes to achieve any of the various orbit\nopportunities, let's consider in those plans the possibility of\ndeveloping a platform that can suit any and all orbits.  Perhaps a\nmodular CubeSat, using a common bus as we did in Fox-1, which gives\ngreat flexibility in building and flying different sizes and\nconfigurations of CubeSats with simple common-design hardware changes.\"\n\nSubmissions should be thorough and contain the following\ninformation.  The purpose of the proposal is not just in suggesting\nan idea; being an all-volunteer team AMSAT needs your help in\ncarrying out the idea.\n\n* Design\n* Implementation - CubeSat platform\n* Estimated timeline\n* Cost - volunteer resources, commercial (COTS) units\n* Launch - how does it get to orbit\n* Strategy - how it fits into AMSAT's Engineering long term strategy\n\nAs mentioned above the idea should be based on the CubeSat platform.\nThis is the standard through which we will look for launches in the\nforeseeable future.\n\nIn considering your proposal, Jerry encourages you to contact him\nfor more details on the criteria.  In particular, if you plan to\ninclude a university as a partner to provide experiments or other\nsupport and you are not representing that university, please contact\nJerry for assistance in working with our existing partners or\nestablishing a new partnership.\n\n\"Being amateur radio operators, it is easy for us to fall into a\nparticular trap because of our history of communicating with other\namateurs throughout the world\" says Jerry.  \"Specifically, most\npeople who are not already involved in the world of satellite\ntechnology are unaware of or simply overlook the provisions of the\ncurrent ITAR and soon to be EAR export rules particularly with regard\nto deemed exports which requires governmental permission to discuss\nsatellite projects with foreign nationals.\"\n\nWhile all amateurs are invited to submit ideas, U.S. amateurs must\ntake particular care of they choose to become involved in a\ncollaboration which includes individuals from other countries.  It is\npermissible to receive ideas and proposals from outside the U.S., but\nit is not permitted for U.S. Persons to export or share design ideas\nwith other countries unless they have taken the proper steps to\ninsure compliance with ITAR and deemed export rules.\n\nAdditionally, those wishing to work on proposals should use care in\npresenting themselves in their contacts.  While the goal is for AMSAT\nto build and launch the satellite, it is not an AMSAT project until\nit is accepted by the AMSAT Board of Directors.  It is acceptable to\nrepresent yourself as members of a project team that plans to submit\na proposal to AMSAT for a future satellite project, as the AMSAT name\nis well known.\n\n\"It is not our intention that ideas be submitted to AMSAT-NA which\nwould be more appropriately handled by an AMSAT organization in a\ncountry where AMSAT is established.  AMSAT-NA is seeking ideas from\namateurs in North America and will certainly consider ideas from\namateurs in countries which do not have an established AMSAT\norganization or relationships with an existing AMSAT organization.\"\n\nThe deadline for submissions is May 30, 2015.  After the submission\ndate the ideas will be screened for completeness and then reviewed by\na board consisting of the AMSAT Engineering Team, AMSAT Senior\nOfficer and Board of Directors representatives, and aerospace\nindustry members.  The review board may modify or consolidate ideas\nand will consider which meet the criteria to become a project based\non feasibility, cost, and the ability to bring value to the amateur\nsatellite community.  The review process is expected to be completed\nin September 2015.\n\nFor those ideas selected to become a project which satisfy the\nrequirements for an ELaNa launch, the idea authors will be asked to\nwork with the AMSAT Engineering Team on an ELaNa proposal.\nThe Engineering Team will then work on the details of execution for\nthe selected project(s) and present a proposal to the AMSAT Board of\nDirectors in October 2015 for final approval to begin work.  Once\napproved, any ELaNa proposals will be submitted in November 2015 and\nthe project(s) will move forward.\n\nNow is the time for YOU to begin working on the next AMSAT satellite!\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-NA for the above information]\n\n\n/EX\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the\nPresident's Club. Members of the President's Club, as sustaining\ndonors to AMSAT Project Funds, will be eligible to receive addi-\ntional benefits. Application forms are available from the AMSAT\nOffice.\n\nPrimary and secondary school students are eligible for membership\nat one-half the standard yearly rate. Post-secondary school students\nenrolled in at least half time status shall be eligible for the stu-\ndent rate for a maximum of 6 post-secondary years in this status.\nContact Martha at the AMSAT Office for additional student membership\ninformation.\n\n73,\nThis Special ANS Editor,\nEMike McCardel, KC8YLD\nkc8yld at amsat dot org\n",
