AMSAT News Service Bulletin 135.01 From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD. DATE May 14, 2020 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-135.01
HuskySat-1 Designated HuskySat-OSCAR 107 (HO-107)
On November 2, 2019, the HuskySat-1 cubesat launched on the Cygnus NG- 12 mission from Wallops Island, Virginia, USA. The satellite was con- structed by the Husky Satellite Lab at the University of Washington, and utilizes an AMSAT-constructed radio system for primary communica- tions. Deployed from the Cygnus vehicle on January 31, 2020 after de- parting the ISS, HuskySat-1 began a 3-month educational mission. Upon completion of that mission, the satellite began operation of a V/u linear transponder in amateur service.
At the request of the Husky Satellite Lab and AMSAT teams, AMSAT here- by designates HuskySat-1 as HuskySat-OSCAR 107 (HO-107). We congratu- late the Husky Satellite Lab, thank them for their contribution to the amateur satellite community, and wish them continued success on this and future projects.

Yay! This is awesome. Seem like not long ago it was in the "teens." Lots of growth. Thanks to the folks making this happen. Great example of a fruitful university and AMSAT partnership. Hope there are many more.
