youth to become active contributors in satellite and communication technology. Second, It helps us satisfy part of our responsibilities spelled out in AMSAT's Articles of Incorporation to encouragement of skills, even at the earliest stages of our youth's
development. Third, it begins to develop an awareness in young people of amateur satellites and amateur radio. We, of course, won't convert every young person into and amateur radio operator and an AMSAT member, but we will get our fair share. The earlier
we start, the better our chances.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">"There are two very unique aspects of AMSAT's Youth Initiative. First is it is a 'community based' program. The materials are designed so that any parent, scouting leader, amateur
radio club or teacher can use the materials as they stand. It does not require buy-in by a school system for get started.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Aptos"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">"The second unique feature is that, although its ultimate goal is to interest kids in amateur satellites ans amateur radio, the materials appeal to a broader spectrum of youth's
interests. If they have an interest in current events affecting our planet or in their future careers, we have at least begun a dialog with which we can nurture their possible interest in satellites and communications technologies. And, if we haven't won them
over along the way, at least we have educated them in some aspects of STEM and perhaps even inspired them.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the volume up, and talk on the crossband repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

space enthusiasts who want to dive deep into space-grade systems, learn cybersecurity concepts, and prototype their own payloads. The board contains an RP2040 MCU for comms and simulation, 2 x SX1262 LoRa radios for realistic space-ground communication scenarios,
LIS2DH 3-axis accelerometer for sensor data emulation and tampering challenges, and a BME280 environmental sensor for telemetry testing. All firmware and documentation is open source. Boards are scheduled for availability on April 30, 2026, but pricing information
is not yet announced. [ANS thanks Electronic Cats for the above information. See the full description at

waters. The decision ended a lengthy review spurred by a test flight mishap with SpaceX's Starship megarocket, which rained debris down on parts of the island nation nearly a year ago. SpaceX can land its rockets in The Bahamas again — and will do so very
soon, if all goes according to plan. [ANS thanks Space.com for the above information. See the full article at

and it's attracting significant industry interest by requiring users to provide data on their own satellites. The system, known as Stargaze, uses the star tracker cameras on SpaceX's near-10,000 Starlink satellites to image objects in LEO, creating a detailed
map of where everything is at any one time. That information could make a huge difference in avoiding satellite collisions. [ANS thanks Yahoo!Tech for the above information. See the full article at
