AMSAT-UK Colloquium 25-27th July

The 23rd AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium will be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, England from Friday 25th until Sunday 27th July.

New for 2008, it has been arranged with the University for "walk-in" day delegates for £10 per day. For this, you do not get any meals, only attendance at lectures/beginners sessions. It does not entitle you to any other of the functions. There is no need to book, just turn up on the day. It would help if you could let us know in advance if you intend using this facility, please email g3wgm@amsat.org

There will be a Beginners Workshop on the Friday afternoon to show newcomers how to get started in the fascinating world of Amateur Radio Space communications.

Dr Rob Gowen, Department of Space & Climate Physics (Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London and Coordinator of the UK Lunar Penetrator Consortium) will give the keynote speech on "Science Penetrators for the UK MoonLITE mission".

There will be presentations from AMSAT-DL on both the eagerly awaited P3E satellite and the pioneering Mars Orbiter P5A. This will be the first private venture spacecraft to travel to the Red Planet providing Radio Amateurs with some true DX signals.

Some of the Delfi-C3 team - Wouter Weggelaar (PA3WEG), Wouter Jan Ubbels (PE4WJ) and Gerard Aalbers (no call yet)

The Delfi-C3 team will be giving presentations on their exciting new satellite.
Its SSB/CW 435/145 linear transponder will activated soon and is sure to prove popular with satellite enthusiasts world-wide.
