OSCAR number for SuitSat

Bill Tynan, W3XO, former President of AMSAT-NA and the OSCAR number coordinator has issued this statement:

From the information sent to me regarding the SuitSat project, it is clear that the SuitSat spacecraft is qualified to receive an OSCAR number.

Therefore, by the authority vested in me by the AMSAT-NA President, I am pleased to issue this new amateur satellite the designation AMSAT-OSCAR-54, or AO-54.

Congratulations are in order to Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, Sergey Samburov, RV3DR and the entire Radioskaf/Suitsat team for mounting this exciting and attention-getting project.

Seldom has an amateur radio event captured the public's imagination and evoked so much positive news media
coverage as SuitSat has.

73,
Bill Tynan, W3XO
