Following the increase in the number of organisations building and launchingsatellites operating on frequencies allocated to the amateur-satellite service,various attempts were made to introduce a coordination system. This led tothe appointment of the IARU Satellite Adviser who is responsible to the IARUAdministrative Council and charged with the task to work closely with AMSATorganisations to provide a coordination facility and a link to the IARU.Various processes were followed, including the appointment of a SatelliteFrequency Coordinator who reported to the IARU Satellite Adviser.
