Satellite Weekend - Watch it live on the web! 



Thanks to the British Amateur Television Club (BATC) this year's AMSAT-UK Satellite Weekend will be streamed live to the web. 



Peter Blakeborough G3PYB, President of BATC, will be streaming
video of the presentations live to the Internet so that Radio Amateurs
and SWL's can watch them from anywhere in the world. This service will be available at http://www.batc.tv/ (all are welcome to watch, with no log in or membership requirements).



As well as the live webcast BATC will also be providing a Live Chat web page enabling viewers to post messages. 



The event takes place over 3 days from Friday 25th until Sunday 27th
July at the University of Surrey, Guildford, England and is open to all.



Prof Sir Martin Sweeting, G3YJO Chairman AMSAT-UK, will open the proceedings at 1400 BST (1300 GMT) on Friday. 



At 1600 BST (1500 GMT) there will be a presentation on the UK MoonLITE mission by Dr Adam Baker of SSTL. This will be the first lunar mission by the United Kingdom.



He will be followed at 1645 BST (1545 GMT) by Dr Rob Gowen,
Department of Space & Climate Physics (Mullard Space Science
Laboratory, University College London and Coordinator of the UK Lunar
Penetrator Consortium) who will speak on "Science Penetrators for the
UK MoonLITE mission".



On Saturday at 0905 BST (0805 GMT) the Delfi-C3 team will
be giving presentations on their exciting new satellite. Its SSB/CW
435/145 linear transponder will be activated in a few days time and is
sure to prove popular with satellite enthusiasts world-wide. 



Later that day at 1130 BST (1030 GMT) there will be two presentations from AMSAT-DL. These will be on the eagerly awaited P3E High Earth Orbiting satellite and the pioneering Mars Orbiter P5A.
This will be the first private venture spacecraft to travel to the Red
Planet providing Radio Amateurs with some true DX signals.

New for 2008, it has been arranged with the University
for "walkin" day delegates for £10 per day. For this, you do not get
any meals, only attendance at lectures/beginners sessions. It does not
entitle you to any other of the functions. There is no need to book,
just turn up on the day. It would help if you could let us know in
advance if you intend using this facility, please email g3wgm at amsat.org
