Above that article is an explanation that this was one of the news releases that the Project OSCAR group made on November 15, 1961. We are closing in on the 50th anniversary of the OSCAR I launch, and there will be bulletins and articles from that time posted in the weekly ANS bulletins as well as in the AMSAT Journal as part of the 50th anniversary commemoration.
73!

Perhaps you missed the introduction that this is the 50th anniversary of the first amateur satellite launch newsletter?
Dateline: Project OSCAR Newsletter November 15, 1961 at 1345 PST
Project OSCAR is providing reproductions of the satellite news from 50 years ago when OSCAR 1 was announced on November 15 and launched on December 12, 1961.
