AMSAT to Seek Grants and Corporate Sponsors for Future Satellites

AMSAT - the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation - reported to members in October that the organization is in good financial shape and that donations are "healthy," but that more resources are needed in to continue designing, building and launching amateur satellites. As a result, according to Vice President for Development Frank Karnauskas, N1UW, the group is stepping up its efforts to secure grants from both philanthropic organizations and corporate sponsors. 

The organization is also seeking more volunteers to help with current and future projects. So if you've ever wanted to be part of designing, building or launching a satellite, get in touch at <www.amsat.org>.
