For\nmore details, go to\nhttps://www.amsat.org/amsat-symposium/. I hope to see you there!\n\nIt takes considerable volunteer effort and real dollars to keep\nAmateur Radio in Space™. AMSAT needs some important assistance in\nthe areas of User Services and Engineering. If you would like to\nvolunteer, please contact me at [email protected]. You may also assist\nAMSAT by making a tax-deductible contribution. AMSAT has several\nfundraising needs. The daily operation of AMSAT is accomplished by\ndonations to the General Fund. This fund is also used to fill other\ndepartment needs. The other main department needs are the fund for\nGOLF (Greater Orbit, Larger Footprint) 3U CubeSats\ndesign/construction and ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International\nSpace Station).\n\nAMSAT has had success in the launch of AO-92 (Fox-1D) in January of\n2018 and the launch of AO-95 (Fox-1Cliff) in December of 2018. AO-95\nachieved orbit and the beacon functions properly, unfortunately the\nsatellite's receiver is not operational. AMSAT Engineering and\nOperations are trying to determine the cause of the issue. AMSAT\npartnered with Spaceflight Inc. by contracting and paying for these\nlaunches. Fundraising for Fox series satellites have not yet recouped\nthis expenditure, so donations are still being accepted. AMSAT is\nexpecting the launch of RadFxSat-2 (Fox-1E), our partnership with\nVanderbilt University, by no earlier than the end of summer. RadFxSat-\n2 will launch on the ELaNa XX mission, on Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne,\nand carry an AMSAT V/u linear transponder and radiation experiments\nfor Vanderbilt University. AMSAT is also partnering with several\nuniversities to fly this linear transponder on their CubeSats. The\nfirst of these will fly on HuskySat-1, from the Husky Satellite Lab\nat the University of Washington, later this year.\n\nAMSAT has been selected for two CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI)\nopportunities for GOLF-TEE and GOLF-1. GOLF's 3U spaceframe is being\ndesigned with versatility to add mission specific radios, power\nsupplies, and experiments. A series of GOLF CubeSats will provide\nbetter coverage and a greater footprint will allow more coverage by\nfewer satellites. GOLF also allows AMSAT to continue and expand\npartnerships with universities, NASA and others. GOLF will also\nprovide for additional experimental payloads such as GPS, satellite\ninterlinking, and others. Your donations help AMSAT keep GOLF-TEE\nand GOLF-1 on schedule.\n\nThe first GOLF CubeSat, GOLF-TEE, will jump start the GOLF program\nwith a launch to LEO as early as 2020. GOLF-TEE will use Attitude\nDetermination and Control (ADAC) and an experimental 5 GHz /10 GHz\nsoftware defined radio transponder.\n\nAMSAT will benefit by gaining knowledge as well as hardware for\nfuture missions. GOLF-TEE also provides an opportunity to fly\nprojects that have been developed by AMSAT's Advanced Satellite\nCommunications and Exploration of New Technology (ASCENT) \"skunk\nworks\" program. GOLF-TEE will carry a Fox-1E design V/u linear\ntransponder and new RadFx (Radiation Effects) experiment like that in\nAO-85 for Vanderbilt University, but testing FinFET technology.\n\nGOLF-1 will aim for higher LEO orbit as the first official \"Greater\nOrbit, Larger Footprint\" AMSAT CubeSat. Launch is targeted for 2020-\n2021.\n\nYou may make a one time or recurring donation to AMSAT at\nhttps://www.amsat.org/donate/.\n\nAs of this writing, the ARISS FundRazr has raised $33,250 of the\n$150,000 for critical amateur radio infrastructure upgrades on ISS to\nenable students to talk to astronauts in space via amateur radio.\nARISS is in critical need of this infrastructure update. Through your\ndonations ARISS seeks the following upgrades:\n\n* Next Generation radio system will support easier radio mode\n transition, to enable new, exciting capabilities for hams, students\n and the general public including:\n\n* New amateur radio communication and experimentation capabilities,\n including an enhanced voice repeater and updated digital packet\n radio (APRS) capabilities\n\n* Slow Scan TV (picture up and downlinks) in both the US and Russian\n segments of ISS\n\n* New multi-voltage power supply (MVPS) will support present and\n future radio capabilities and allow wireless experiments to be\n conducted\n\nARISS is building 10 Next Generation Radio Systems to support our\ndevelopment, on-orbit operations, training and long-term maintenance.\nThis includes units on-orbit (2 units--1 unit each in US and Russian\nsegment), flight spares (2 units), training (3 units), testing (1\nunit) and ground-based maintenance & troubleshooting (2 units). ARISS\nhas kicked off a FundRazr campaign for this initiative. The project\nis scheduled for delivery by the end of this year.\n\nAMSAT is also working with our ARISS partners to develop an amateur\nradio package, including two-way communication capability, to be\ncarried on-board Gateway in lunar orbit. Stay tuned for more details\non this exciting project.\n\nYou may make a one time or recurring donation to ARISS by clicking\nthe ARISS Donations button at https://www.amsat.org/donate or\ndirectly to the FundRazr at https://fundrazr.com/arissnextgen.\n\nHelp Keep Amateur Radio in Space™\n\nThanks!
