<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Sharing news of AMSAT activities, especially the work of the AMSAT Engineering Department, is an important function that supports AMSAT’s information and education mission. It is

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">“For the
<b><span style="font-weight:bold">Feature Story Editor</span></b>s, we have a pool of information that we’ve collected from Hamvention and Symposium presentations that can be quickly converted into short stories for publication in the ANS Weekly Bulletins and
into feature stories for The AMSAT Journal. We typically start with a video or at least an audio recording of the presentation which you would convert into a written transcript using an application that we provide. The editor then uses the transcript and the
author’s original PowerPoint slides to create the final articles.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<b><span style="font-weight:bold">Video Editor</span></b>, again we have a collection of videos from presentations that simply need opening titles to be added and a bit of “tuning up” inside the presentations themselves. There is no need for expensive software

it will be taken out of service again later this year for major upgrades. The DSS-14 antenna, a 70-meter dish at the DSN complex in Goldstone, California, was damaged Sept. 16 when it over-rotated, stressing cabling and piping. DSS-14 is one of three 70-meter
antennas in the DSN; the others are located near Madrid, Spain, and Canberra, Australia. The 70-meter antennas are used to communicate with distant spacecraft or those experiencing technical problems. (ANS thanks SpaceNews for the above information.)<br style="mso-special-character:line-break">

This included the loss of a classified Shijian satellite
after a Long March 3B lifted off at 1655 UTC from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China. The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) confirmed the failure around 12 hours after liftoff, stating that the Shijian-32 satellite had
been lost following a third stage anomaly. Roughly 12 hours later, the Ceres-2 lifted off at 0408 UTC on Jan. 17. from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. Galactic Energy confirmed the loss of the debut flight, stating that an anomaly had
occurred and that the specific cause is under further investigation. (ANS thanks SpaceNews for the above information.)<br style="mso-special-character:line-break">
