The 23rd AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium

The 23rd AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium will be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, England from Friday 25th until Sunday 27th July.

Dr Rob Gowen, Department of Space & Climate Physics (Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London and Coordinator of the UK Lunar Penetrator Consortium) will give the keynote speech on "Science Penetrators for the UK MoonLITE mission".

There will be presentations from AMSAT-DL on both the eagerly awaited P3E satellite and the pioneering Mars Orbiter P5A. This will be the first private venture spacecraft to travel to the Red Planet providing Radio Amateurs with some true long distance signals.

The Delfi-C3 team will be giving presentations on their exiting new satellite. Its SSB/CW 435/145 linear transponder will activated soon and is sure to prove popular with satellite enthusiasts world-wide.

Keith Pugh will be providing a status report on ARISS - Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ISS).

Radio Amateurs recently had antennas for the Amateur Satellite 1.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz allocations fitted to the Columbus module of the ISS.

The Colloquium is open to all. Either day passes or full packages comprising overnight accommodation and meals are available. An online booking service is available with PayPal, Visa and Master Card payments accepted.
