The first $30,000 of this Fund Raising Campaign will be used to complete the current MicroSat projects. The remaining $50,000 is to be used to complete the Phase-Ⅳ Geostationary Satellite design. Please be sure to help with your donation this year: send contributions to AMSAT, P. O. Box 27, Washington, DC 20044.Individuals and organizations who wish to contribute to a specific AMSAT-NA project are welcomed to earmark their donation. Of course, technology and other resources developed for one project are often used to facilitate the development of a future project, e.g. much of what is being learned in the development of the MicroSats is being used to assist in the development of the Phase-Ⅳ Geostationary Satellites, i.e., our projects are interdependent. Just as a great deal of information gained in the construction of previous OSCARs was used to develop the MicroSats, in turn a great deal of the information obtained in MicroSat development will be used to improve the Phase-Ⅳ Satellites. Therefore, regardless of your interest in packet radio, your support of the existing MicroSat Project is very important to the development of future OSCARs of all types.
