AMSAT Dayton Report

Once again, the AMSAT booth was the target of satellite enthusiasts looking for the latest information on satellite activity.

There was a model of Eagle and several of the modules being considered for the satellite on display.

Our construction staff answered many inquiries and described
actual tasks ahead to put this bird into orbit. A large banner
indicating Eagle is in the building stage underlines the need for funding to be building as well.

A Phase 3 E brochure was on the table to show its readiness to begin the long trek to the launching pad as well. Remember there is a direct relationship of funding vs. a successful launch.

On Friday night, the joint AMSAT/TAPR dinner held under the wings of aircraft at the Air Force Museum was a great success. Comments after the dinner were positive and all enjoyed a great evening of table chatter and aircraft viewing.

A special thanks to our contacts in Dayton for making the Hamvention run so smooth for those that assisted in the booth and presented at the SRO forums.
