AMSAT has been in contact with Dr. Turki Al Saud, Director, 
Space Research Institute (KACST), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia who
is the sponsoring organization for SaudiSat-1C.

I'm forwarding this ahead of the next ANS bulletin publication 
because it will be Saturday before this information gets out if 
we wait that long.

Subject: OSCAR Designation for SaudiSat-1C
Dear Dr. Turki Al Saud,

AMSAT-NA President Robin Haighton, VE3FRH has asked me to handle
issuance of OSCAR numbers.  Therefore, in response to your letter
to him requesting an OSCAR number for SaudiSat-1C, I hereby issue
Saudi OSCAR-50 (SO-50) to your new amateur radio spacecraft.
Thus, SO-50 joins a long line of amateur radio satellites beginning
with OSCAR-1 launched in December, 1961.

On behalf of AMSAT-NA I wish to congratulate you and your associates
at Space Research Institute of KACST on the successful culmination
of this project and hope that amateurs all over the world will have
an opportunity to use SO-50.

Best wishes and 73,

William (Bill) Tynan, W3XO
Board Chairman AMSAT-NA
