In addition most cubsats just buy prebut of commercial modules
(clydespace...) so those teams have to do little actual engineering. Those
teams however are limited I. Their scope for the future whereas AMSAT-NA is
developing the basic building blocks of heir own platform to build on. I.
Addition to IP being generated (designs, test hardware and software,
firmware, etc) volunteers old and especially the new generation of
volunteers that have joined in the last several year are getting experience
from the ground up. This is the first Cubesat for AMSAT NA and yes it is a
tough form factor to build in with missions longer than a few months,
actually I'd say AMSAT isone of the few if only developing a cubsat
platform for 5+ mission years. It's a tough problem and may look "solved"
already but it is not. ITAR also hinders this greatly.
To those of you even mildly interested in volunteering please do! We are
ally are ushering in a new wave of amateur radio satellites that will start
with FM birds but will certainly progress through more advanced functions
such as digital data. You don't have to work in Aerospace to volunteer but
when building a Cubesat that has to work you've got to cross your t's and
dot your i's. One step at a time, we will get there and it will be a
growing pace, fox-1 is the start, fox-1b and 1c are low hanging fruit to
get launches and improve upon our platform. Fox-2 and over starts getting
much more power, software defined radio transponders, etc... It's going to
be fun!

Hi all!
I'm planning on attending the Orlando Maker Faire on Sept 13,14 2014 to
showcase amateur satellites.
Anyone else planning on attending? I've got all the necessary gear for a
fun filled day.

It looks like the Clearwater Amateur Radio Society is also attending.
Is their table going to be the Sat table?
