The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) hasn't added a story.
AMSAT is a group of radio hobbyists that build and
launch satellites that provide communications and carry experiments
for ham radio users and space enthusiasts around the world. Our
satellites are completely open for anyone to listen and any licensed
ham to transmit through. We are celebrating our 45th year of making
and keeing ham radio in space.
AMSAT is excited to announce a launch opportunity for the Fox-1C
Cubesat. AMSAT has teamed with Spaceflight Inc. for integration and
launch utilizing Spaceflight’s SHERPA system to a
sun-synchronous orbit in the third quarter of 2015.
Fox-1C is the third of four Fox-1 series satellites under
development, with Fox-1A and RadFXsat/Fox-1B launching through the
NASA ELANA program. Fox-1C will carry an FM repeater system for
amateur radio use by radio hams and listeners worldwide, and has
available payload space for educational and non-profit experiment
boards. Further details on the satellite and launch will be made
available as soon as released.
AMSAT has an immediate need to raise funds to cover both the launch
contract and additional materials for construction and testing for
Fox-1C. Please help us to continue to keep amateur radio in space. AMSAT Fox-1C at www.amsat.org
