Clint,

Fox is the next spacecraft after Echo (AO-51) and the one before Golf. :) It is usually referred to as AMSAT-Echo, though there are variations.

Is "FOX" an acronym? If not, is the formal title of the project, "AMSAT-Fox" or "AMSAT-FOX"?

Hi Clint,

"Fox" is the follow up satellite to "Echo" (now AO-51) and is not an acronym.
