New Satellite Logos
These logos are used to identify the projects and can be used on your
private or business homepage to demonstrate P3E is scheduled for launch this autumn into a highly elliptical earth orbit. It will be in range for up to 8 hours each orbit and will provide worldwide coverage using a transponder operating on either 70cm to 2 metres or 70cm to 13cm.
When the satellite is in Mars orbit it is hoped to deploy a package onto the surface. There will be a presentation on these satellites at the AMSAT-UK Space
Colloquium. This will be held at the University of Surrey in Guildford
from 29 – 31st July. |

New
satellite logos have been designed for the Amateur Phase 3 Express (P3E)
and Mars Orbiter (P5A) satellites. 
Mars
Orbiter should be launched into earth orbit in 2007, it will then fire
it's onboard motor to send it to Mars. It will be the first Amateur Satellite
to go to another planet. There will be a beacon onboard operating in the
Amateur 10 GHz band; this will provide Radio Amateurs with the ultimate
in DX signals.
