Dear Friends, It gives us great pleasure and satisfaction to say that 'HAMSAT-VO 52' has completed 6 years of successful operation in orbit. HAMSAT was launched on 5th May 2005 aboard PSLV-C6 from Sriharikotta.
The transponder and the beacon on-board were never been off the air, even for a second from the time they were switched 'ON'. Looking at the health parameters, HAMSAT is still in good condition and we are sure it would provide fruitful services for many more years to come.
On this happy occasion,we express our sincere thanks to the entire ISRO HAMSAT project team for this great feat. Our thanks to AMSAT-India, Kumar VU2BGS and Willaims PEIRAH for their contributions.

Hi Mani, VU2WMY
I agree with you and in my opinion VO-52 is actually the best satellite with a linear transponder, no changes in mode of operation, always ON operating in all orbits with a great signal,very sensitive,with an AGC working very well and easy to operate. Actually VO-52 is the only satellite that I work every day with success. When VO-52 is over Europe the most part of users are from Italy.
Congratulations to AMSAT-India. ISRO AMSAT project team and to William PE1RAH for the 6th Anniversary of HAMSAT -VO-52 !

Mani,
Congratulations, and many more orbits!
We also want to acknowledge the government of India for supporting the construction and launch of VO-52 as a result of the emergency communications UO-14 provided after the 2001 Gujarat earthquake. We enjoy satellite communications as a hobby, however we should never fail to realize it's potential when an event causes on the ground communication's to be disrupted.
