Amsat at Space Day

AMSAT will be taking part in Space Day, Thursday, May 5 at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport. Hours are 10 pm - 2 pm for student groups, 2 - 4 pm for the general public, and 4 - 9 pm for families. Parking will be free that day.

We will have tables set up in the Space Hangar around the OSCAR satellite display-case so we can explain how hams build and operate satellites. We'll show Cal Poly's Cubesat model and other small satellite hardware, and we will also talk about OSCAR 1 and PCSat located in the display-case.

We are hoping to have members of the ARISS team explain ARISS and Naval Academy people explain PCSat.

If you haven't yet seen the new Space Hangar at the Udvar-Hazy Center, May 5 is a perfect opportunity. The Museum is open to 9 PM that day so you can visit after work, and parking (normally $12) is free. It's also a chance to meet the Shuttle Return to Flight astronauts and other VIP's.
