That is not true. While ARISS-USA has been established as a separate organization, AMSAT is still a full partner in ARISS with both US and Canadian delegates to ARISS International. We are 100% committed to continuing our involvement in amateur radio on human spaceflight missions, including ARISS and as part of the Amateur Radio Exploration (AREx) group developing amateur communications systems for the Lunar Gateway.

Paul Stoetzer, N8HM Executive Vice President AMSAT

Recently, there was mention of AMSAT no longer being welcome in the ISS program. Is that true? Or do I need more coffee this morning?
