could someone please provide the current status and progress of kiwisat? The last update on the website is dated 7JAN2006. Also, is there anything that someone in the USA or otherwise not local can do to help the project along and get this bird flying?

Eric, and others:
The KiwiSAT project continues to advance, and reports come out from time to time.
Please see http://www.kiwisat.org.nz for an update from 2nd August 2007.
Regards, Jim, ZL1TYF
P.S. The AMSAT-ZL web site does indeed seem out of date, but the above web site is active and tracking the project.

KiwiSAT site at http://www.kiwisat.org is updated weekly. Minor changes are not noted however regular changes are made to keep information fresh.
Help? Certainly is a way overseas folk can help. Of great need is assistance with finance. Every small contribution helps. To date all money has come from New Zealand radio amateurs by voluntary contribution. The project is well down the track to completion and this page will give a good idea of what is required. http://www.kiwisat.org.nz/funding.html
Check out Rocket Lab and their interesting work - the link is on the Home page of "kiwisat.org".
73, Terry, ZL3QL.
