Description
Teachers and amateur radio operators have been using satellites for education since the first OSCAR launch in 196L The recent high power OSCAR satellites are in use every day in classrooms around the world by teachers with amateur radio licenses. Central Florida hams are assembling Phase 3-D, the next generation amateur radio satellite. Phase 3-D will offer many new opportunities for education due to an earth-viewing camera experiment, and higher power which will permit schools to use the satellite with much less hardware. Locally the Phase 3-D integration team is looking for educational groups to participate in the assembly and testing of the spacecraft. We are hoping to offer students from the middle-school to university level hands-on experience with spacecraft manufacturing and testing.
