AMSAT-NA Store still open and secure
by Alan 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

All, A quick reminder that the AMSAT-NA Store is still open for business at the following URL: http://store.amsat.org/catalog/ It is running on a separate secure server, and unaffected by issues with the main AMSAT web site. We still haves several of the popular new broadband preamps in stock from the second production run. Unlike some sites, even temporarily, no Viagra. :) 73s, Alan WA4SCA AMSAT Store Stock Boy

ANS-022 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin - AMSAT-NA Website Down

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE SPECIAL BULLETIN ANS-022 SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-022.01 ANS-022 ANS Special Bulletin - AMSAT-NA Website Down AMSAT News Service Bulletin 022.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. January 22, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-022.01 On or about 20 January 2013, AMSAT-NA's main web site www.amsat.org was compromised by an attacker, with the contents of the supporting database, including non-public information, posted on other publicly available web sites. It is likely that the attacker gained enough access to the site to post arbitrary and possibly illegal content, so out of an abundance of caution the main site was shut down. Neither the AMSAT store nor the Fox project web site were affected by this breach. Mail services remain operational. The main site was developed roughly 10 years ago by a AMSAT volun- teers under a more benign Internet threat environment. The team that built that site is no longer associated with AMSAT, so work has been underway over the last several months to move to a modern, maintain- able, secure infrastructure. This recent breach will accelerate that activity. In the interim, www.amsat.org will have limited content. [ANS thanks AMSAT's User Services Team for the above information] /EX

Just downloaded new keps in my HRD Sat program today and noticed that SO-50 is now listed as Saudisat 1C. Looks like some other ones are also 'renamed'. Anyone else notice this ? 73, K7TRK

BBC Radio 4 - The Enduring Legacy of Apollo
by Trevor . 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Professor Sir Martin Sweeting G3YJO appeared on today's BBC Radio 4 show For All Mankind in which Chris Riley examined the enduring legacy of the Apollo moon missions. Chris Riley talks to astronauts, philosophers and entrepreneurs about the enduring impact of Apollo. By pushing technology to its limits, the missions showed us what we could achieve as a species. In the longer term, they accelerated the development of modern electronics, inspired the environmental movement and even helped thaw Cold War relations. Martin G3YJO mentions the first UOSAT's (UO-9 and UO-11), you can hear him at 08:52 into the recording which is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pcqkk 73 Trevor M5AKA AMSAT-UK http://www.amsat-uk.org/ Join or Renew your AMSAT-UK membership at http://shop.amsat.org.uk/shop/category_7/Membership-of-AMSAT-UK.html ----
