Dear AMSAT community,
My name is Bungo Shiotani and I am a PhD student working with Dr. Norman Fitz-Coy at the University of Florida. As part of my PhD research I have put together a survey to assess the potential impacts that containerized satellites have on the debris population in low Earth orbit. I would like you to participate and to forward this survey to others that you know. Thank you for your help in advance!

Dear Fellow Member of the Space Community,
My name is Bungo Shiotani and I am a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Norman Fitz-Coy at the University of Florida. I am requesting your assistance with this survey to assess the potential impact that containerized satellite have on the debris population in low Earth orbit. The results will be used as part of my Ph.D. dissertation to create a statistical database and to quantify the growth of debris population. We hope the outcome will increase the awareness to the community regarding the potential growth of debris population due to containerized satellites.
Your identify will not be collected unless you choose to disclose it in the survey. Additionally, if you would like the results sent directly to you, please disclose your contact information when requested in the survey.
Please respond to this survey by Friday, February 27th 2015. The survey should take less than 30 minutes to complete.
