AMSAT-Italy announces joint VERTA-1 satellite project with AMSAT-UK

AMSAT-Italy President Florio LX2DV/IW2NMB said this week, "AMSAT-Italia along with AMSAT-UK has the great pleasure of announcing our joint application to launch the proposed "EuroDAST" micro-satellite onboard the Arianespace VEGA launcher, with its VERTA-1 flight opportunity."

Florio continues, "Although it is to be launched with a European Launcher and is based on an AMSAT-Italia mission concept, the development of such a micro-satellite is open to worldwide contributions in hardware and software."

Any individuals or groups of interested amateurs, universities, research centers having space based hardware or software concepts are invited to submit their ideas by
e-mail to: cd@amsat.it.
