摘要

For the second year, we're pleased to publish, as part of theProceedings book from the AMSAT Annual Symposium, papers thatfocus on the educational use of Amateur Radio satellites and spaceoperations. These papers result from presentations given at the secondAMSAT / ARRL co-sponsored educational workshop held at the AMSATSymposium. Topics that authors wrote about included using satellites inelementary school science classes through college engineering courses,plus papers about activities evolving from the Shuttle Amateur RadioEXperiment (SAREX). Amateur Radio and education go hand in hand,quite nicely, at all grade levels. These papers give readers examples ofhow teachers implement the two in their classrooms. We wish toencourage as many teachers as we can to make use of Amateur Radiosatellite and SAREX activities in order to bring science to life for theirstudents.
