Can someone help David? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Bern <David.Bern(a)engineer.com> Date: Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 10:35 AM Subject: Re: Fwd: Rockville Science Day 2017 Exhibitor Registration To: Martha <martha(a)amsat.org> Martha: The answer is no if I need to do it and yes if another volunteer joins us at the MARC table. I need to be in two places at once on Sunday, April 23 since I am organizing volunteers for Science Day and then I run off to my Technician class that afternoon and then come back after class to help pack up. So you are welcome to invite an AMSAT volunteer to contact me. David, W2LNX On 02/24/2017 10:25 AM, Martha wrote: Dave- The people from the Rockville Science Day called.

Antares Launch Photos
by Daniel Schultz 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

This is a series of short exposure shots, the first three taken as the rocket rose above the trees, the fourth close to first stage burnout, and the last one shows the second stage burn which appears to be moving downward as the second stage moves out over the Atlantic. These were shot from the parking lot of Resurrection Church in Burtonsville MD. http://www.qsl.net/n8fgv/First_stage_1.JPG http://www.qsl.net/n8fgv/First_stage_2.JPG http://www.qsl.net/n8fgv/First_stage_3.JPG http://www.qsl.net/n8fgv/First_stage_4.JPG http://www.qsl.net/n8fgv/Second_Stage.JPG Dan Schultz, N8FGV

AMSAT visit to Capitol?
by aantunes＠captechu.edu 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Hello, Pat and other AMSATers! We are running a summer program for Brazilian exchange students until July 18th. Back in 2014, you visited Capitol College to convey cool AMSAT and ham wisdom to our students. We'd love to set up a visit with our 29 visiting students, if feasible. 3 of them already took the Technician's class exam and got their US ham licenses last month, and several of them are working on APRS beacons and satellite SDR and other projects. We're also building a networked SatNOGs antenna to talk to satellites, and are nearly done that project. Would any of you be available to visit and talk with them? We changed our name (now 'Capitol Technology University') but we're still right up the road from GSFC, in Laurel, on 11301 Springfield Rd. Hopefully, Sandy Alex "Sandy" Antunes, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Astronautical Engineering Capitol Technology University aantunes(a)capTechU.edu

ARISS DC Event---Help Needed
by KA3HDO 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

All, The ARISS team was asked by NASA to be part of its booth for an event called Escape Velocity. Escape Velocity merges the excitement of science fiction and science fact to inspire students and the general public to more deeply engage in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) subjects. A description of Escape Velocity can be found at the following URL: http://escapevelocity.events/ Specifically, Escape Velocity is described on their web site as a "micro futuristic world's fair to promote STEAM education within the context of science fiction using the fun of comic cons and fascination of science and engineering festivals. Escape Velocity seeks to make a measurable positive impact to boost informal learning on the more conceptually challenging academic areas". Escape Velocity will be held on July 1-3 at the Gaylord Convention Center at National Harbor, Maryland. The event runs from 10 am-6 pm each day. We also will be setting up the booth the evening of June 30. The ARISS team is looking for some volunteers to staff the booth on the dates and times shown above. Those supporting the booth will also be able to view the other booths as part of Escape Velocity. While knowledge of ARISS is preferred, and operation of amateur satellites is beneficial, we can train hams that have an interest in staffing our booth. Note that we would prefer volunteers to commit to at least 2-3 hours at a time, If you are interested in helping, please let Frank Bauer know what dates and times you would be willing to support. Frank can be reached at ka3hdo(a)verizon.net <mailto:ka3hdo@verizon.net> . Thanks, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO ARISS International Chair AMSAT V.P. for Human Spaceflight
