All,

I am beginning to prepare a presentation for my Club (The Thunderbird Amateur Radio Club, www.w7tbc.org) on the basic engineering considerations for amateur satellites. My original thought was to briefly discuss the various engineering considerations and then look at how they are applied. I am thinking in addition to tie this in to FOX, by discussing how AMSAT will solve engineering issues on the FOX series of sats. I think this approach will help make the concepts clear, while also serving to promote FOX.

With this in mind, I'd like to know if anyone on the FOX team would be willing to field questions from me during as I prepare the presentation, to make sure I get it complete and right.

I also wonder if it would be possible to arrange to have the Fox-1 Model made available to me when I give the presentation? What hoops do I need to jump through to make that happen? (The presentation will be given in mid October)

Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.
