<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The beta release of "Satellites and Climate Change" is now available online. This course is the second online course published as part of the AMSAT Youth Initiative's series "How

and the former Science Curriculum Coordinator for Hardyston Middle School. In order to expedite the development of the courses and keep costs low, one of Eric's most challenging tasks in creating the lessons is sourcing copyright-free graphics and related
resources. Fortunately there is a relatively abundant pool of free materials available on government and college websites from which to draw. From Eric's content, other AMSAT volunteers use specialized software to format the content into an online presentation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Frank Karnauskas, N1UW, AMSAT Vice President-Development and creator of the Youth Initiative explains, "Our approach to getting youth interested in satellites and amateur radio
is to attract their attention and participation in topics of current events and widespread interest. We explain how satellites are an integral component of almost every facet of modern living and from there introduce the concept of critical information provided
by satellites, then telemetry, and communications. We provide access to experiences with satellite telemetry via amateur radio satellite ground stations to access ARISS packet and voice stations aboard the International Space Station as well as other amateur
radio satellites. Essentially, we try to 'set the hook' by giving students access to SWL experiences in the same way many of us got our start in amateur radio and with hands-on opportunity to download and analyze actual telemetry.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">"A unique concept in designing the Youth Initiative program is that it is a community-based program available to all youth, through their own self-interest, though home-schooling
and through programs such as Scouting, <span class="SpellE">4H</span> or community based programs for youth with special needs. Teachers are welcome to incorporate the materials into their curriculum where their school boards allow them to do so. But, the
key here is that school participation is not needed for parents or other leaders to utilize our materials."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to reach its conclusion with a cutoff of the simulated countdown at the T-29 seconds point at 5:51 p.m. EST (2251 UTC).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

launch will take place no later than April 2026.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) sent their best Christmas wishes to Earth as they orbit our planet. NASA astronauts Mike Fincke, Zena
<span class="SpellE">Cardman</span> and Chris Williams and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) sent a video Christmas card home as they and three other crewmates spend the holidays 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth. "Greetings to
planet Earth, all of our friends and family, from Expedition 74 aboard the International Space Station, flying high above," said Fincke, who commands the Expedition 74 crew on the ISS. "Thinking of you during this holiday season." Watch the heartwarming greeting
and feel the season bright at <a href="https://tinyurl.com/ANS-362-Greetings">https://tinyurl.com/ANS-362-Greetings</a> . [ANS thanks space.com for the above information.]<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">+ The global space sector is entering a phase of large-scale satellite constellations and expanded human lunar activity, driving a sharp increase in demand for access to orbit.
Within the next two decades, the total mass launched to space is expected to reach several hundred thousand tons, with annual launch counts projected in the tens of thousands and continuing to grow. Launch providers therefore face simultaneous requirements
for low cost, high flight rates, and airline-style reliability in space transportation systems. Reusable launch vehicles have reduced per-flight cost, but they do not yet deliver the launch tempo and reliability needed for this next phase of activity. A study
in the Chinese Journal of Aeronautics argues that artificial intelligence applied across launch vehicle life cycles could address these remaining bottlenecks and become a disruptive technology following reusability in space
<span class="SpellE">transportation.The</span> authors outline four main roles for AI in launch systems: agile test and launch preparation, high-reliability flight, rapid maintenance, and efficient safety operation and control. Learn more about the study at
