<h2><b><font size="5" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">Nine US Schools Moved Forward in ARISS Selection Process<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></h2>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) announced on April 18, 2014 the US schools/host organizations newly selected for 2024 ARISS contacts. A total of 9 of the submitted
proposals during the recent proposal window have been accepted to move forward in the processes of planning to host a scheduled amateur radio contact with crew on the ISS. The primary goal of the ARISS program is to engage young people in Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) activities and raise their awareness of space communications, radio communications, space exploration, and related areas of study and career possibilities.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The ARISS program anticipates that NASA will be able to provide scheduling opportunities for the 9 US host organizations during the July – December 2024 time period. They are now at work
starting to implement their 4–6-month education plan which was outlined in their proposal. These STEAM based educational activities help prepare students for their contact as well as create an on-going exploration and interest in aerospace and amateur radio
topics. They are also completing an acceptable equipment plan that demonstrates their ability to execute the ham radio contact. Once their equipment plan is approved by ARISS, the final selected schools/organizations will be scheduled as their availability
and flexibility match up with the scheduling opportunities offered by NASA.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<h2><b><font size="5" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">AMSAT Thanks First Quarter 2024 President’s Club Members<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></h2>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Frank Karnauskas, N1UW, AMSAT VP – Development happily reports, “Each year for the past four years of its re-incarnation, the AMSAT President’s Club has picked up speed and becomes a more
important factor in AMSAT’s annual fund raising efforts. The first quarter of the 2024 the President’s Club is off to a great start. With our regular dedicated contributors plus many first-time members, contributions have already raised almost $16,000 in the
first three months of 2024.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“So often, our members think about AMSAT’s having to raise funds for satellite hardware – the costs for electronic components, solar panels, batteries and so on. But, there are many background
costs. A good example is software licenses needed for actual satellite development. The volunteer engineers can often swap licenses so they can limit the number of licenses needed. But, as they draw closer to finalizing drawings for circuit boards, spaceframes
and deployable solar panels, the team can stretch software licenses only so far before work flow becomes handicapped. Some software licenses, even with the best educational or non-profit discounts, easily exceed the $1,000 mark. And, those licenses need to
be renewed on an annual basis.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“The engineering team can always use more electrical and mechanical engineers to move the FOX-PLUS and GOLF programs along. But, being able to leverage the efforts of our current volunteers
with enough software licenses would be a huge plus. Contributions from members of the President’s Club make a big difference in giving the engineering team the tools they need.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Given hams’ inherent interest in all things technical, it’s no wonder that the Engineering table at AMSAT’s Hamvention booth is always popular. Not wanting to disappoint our members, Jerry
Buxton, N0JY, AMSAT VP- Engineering and his team are making plans for an informative and entertaining presence. No fewer than ten members of the engineering team will attending this year’s Hamvention.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Probably the most interesting exhibit will be a full-scale model of the GOLF-TEE (Technology Exploration Environment) satellite. The 3-D model printed by team member Tom Karnauskas,
<span class="SpellE">N0UW</span>, gives an interesting look at the challenges that satellite designers face when trying to fit stacks of circuit boards, bundles of batteries, attitude sensing and control systems, and experimental payloads inside a
<span class="SpellE">10cm</span> x <span class="SpellE">10cm</span> x <span class="SpellE">
30cm</span> spaceframe. The model also gives a look at the challenge of adding deployable solar panels to the exterior of the spacecraft. Given the fact that the GOLF program represents AMSAT’s return to Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO), engineers will no-doubt
be busy answering questions on all facets of the GOLF program.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Engineers will also be on hand to answer questions about the ongoing development of the Fox-Plus series of satellites. Recognizing the success of the original Fox series as an entry level
introduction to amateur satellites, the engineers working the Fox-Plus birds are committed to improving on the original concept and setting the stage for future capabilities for these Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For those interested in a look even further into the future, engineers working the ASCENT program will also be present. ASCENT, meaning, Advanced Satellite Communication and Exploration
of New Technology, is a “sandbox” for future satellite communications and related systems to be explored and pursued for eventual flight use. A radiation-tolerant internal-housekeeping-unit (RT-IHU), software defined radio (<span class="SpellE">SDR</span>)
methods, and a 10 GHz PA design ideas are some ASCENT projects that will fly on GOLF-TEE. Engineers at the table can also discuss other ASCENT projects in the works such as a slow-scan television (SSTV) payload, a packet repeater payload and propulsion systems
suitable for CubeSat operation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

re-entry. When the full mega-constellation of satellites is deployed in the <span class="SpellE">
2030s</span>, companies will do this every hour because satellite internet requires thousands of satellites to constantly be replaced. Recent research has led some physicists to believe that the space trash generated by dead and dying commercial satellites
could compromise our ionosphere or magnetosphere. Unlike meteorites, which are small and only contain trace amounts of aluminum, these wrecked spacecraft are huge and consist entirely of aluminum and other exotic, highly conductive materials. And highly conductive
materials can create charging effects and act as a magnetic shield. [ANS thanks Dr. Sierra Soter, writing in the Guardian, for the above information.]<o:p></o:p></span></font></li></ul>
