AMSAT Symposium a great success

The annual AMSAT meeting and symposium was held at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Washington, DC. last weekend.

A myriad of papers were presented of which a complete proceedings can be obtained from AMSAT Headquarters.
Well attended and well received presentations on subjects from ISS contacts made by schools to college level designing of satellites and integration of Amateur Radio communications equipment were the topics of the days.

The new AMSAT Officers were presented to the group during
the annual meeting portion of the symposium and the chance to ask questions of them was another highlight.
At the annual Banquet dinner, the keynote speaker astronaut Carl Walz, KC5TIE, kept guests spellbound with his experiences in space.

The ARISS annual meeting was also held after this symposium.
