This is just part of a complete plan to provide for the space and ground needs of amateur radio. Thus, you can expect to see additional grants on this scale. ORI remains an AMSAT-Affiliated organization, and the participation of AMSAT and its members is always welcome.
Thanks

ARDC awarded ORI $500,000 to do major development on the phase 4 ground digital communications terminal. ORI has assembled a tremendous engineering team to do this work.
Congratulations to ORI. I was informed the check is in the mail. This is the largest grant ARDC has given to date. ORI was previously awarded large grants by the ARRL foundation and the Yasme foundation to support the work.
