OSCAR Numbers for RAFT and ANDE Satellites

AMSAT OSCAR coordinator Bill Tynan, W3XO issued the following statement:

By the authority vested in me by the AMSAT-NA President, I am pleased to issue an OSCAR number for the RAFT-I and ANDE Cubesat amateur radio satellites.

From the information provided me, I conclude that, RAFTI complies with all of the requirements for an OSCAR number. In accordance with your request, the prefix will be NAV. Thus, RAFT-I will henceforth be known as NAV-OSCAR-60 or NO-60.

Additionally, from the information provided me, I conclude that, ANDE complies with all of the requirements for an OSCAR number. In accordance with your request, the prefix will be NAV. Thus, ANDE will henceforth be known as NAV-OSCAR-61 or NO-61.

AMSAT-NA and I wish to congratulate you and your entire US Naval Academy Satellite Lab team for the successful construction, testing and orbiting of this very interesting spacecraft.

73 and Best Wishes,

William A. (Bill) Tynan, W3XO

 

Bill, W3XO
