AMSAT Fox-1C Launch Opportunity Announced


AMSAT is excited to announce a launch opportunity for the Fox-1C
Cubesat. AMSAT has teamed with Spaceflight Inc. for integration and
launch utilizing Spaceflight's SHERPA system to a sun-synchronous
orbit in the third quarter of 2015.

Fox-1C is the third of four Fox-1 series satellites under
development, with Fox-1A and RadFXsat/Fox-1B launching through the
NASA ELANA program. Fox-1C will carry an FM repeater system for
amateur radio for use by radio hams and listeners worldwide. Further
details on the satellite and launch will be made available as soon
as released.

AMSAT has an immediate need to raise funds to cover both the launch
contract and additional materials for construction and testing for
Fox-1C. We have set a fundraising goal of $125,000 dollars to cover
these expenses over the next 12 months, and allow us to continue to
keep amateur radio in space.

Donations may be made through the AMSAT webpage at www.amsat.org, by
calling (888) 322-6728 or by mail to the AMSAT office at 10605
Concord Street, Kensington, MD 20895, USA.

Please consider a recurring, club, or corporate donation to maximize
our chance of success with this mission. Also watch our website at
