Presentations at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium[1] July 29-31 in Guildford, England,
will be streamed live to a global audience, thanks to volunteers from the
British Amateur Television Club (BATC[2]).
The web stream[3] will begin on Saturday, July 30, at 0915 UTC, with the
official opening by Sir Martin Sweeting, G3YJO. The conference schedule[4] is
available on the AMSAT-UK website. Recordings of all talks will be posted on
the AMSAT-UK YouTube Channel[5] following the event.
A full program of presentations covering all aspects of the Amateur Satellite
world is on tap for Saturday and Sunday, and a satellite beginner's session is
scheduled for Friday afternoon. Sessions will include updates on the many new
satellites expected to be launched over the next few months, including
Es'hail-2[6], which will carry the first-ever geostationary Amateur Radio
transponder and provide more than 8 MHz of new spectrum to five continents.
Sessions on how to develop software receivers using GNU radio, reviews of UK
Astronaut Tim Peake's (KG5BVI/GB1SS) ARISS contacts and the STEM results
achieved, information about a new 76 GHz satellite project, a review of how to
operate in the field, and more are on the program.
The banquet speaker will be Libby Jackson of the UK Space Agency, who worked
with the ARISS-UK team during Peake's ISS mission. Visit the AMSAT-UK
Colloquium[7] web page for additional information. - Thanks to AMSAT News
