Dear friends,
On behalf of the Programme Director, Mission Director, Operations Director and
the entire "HAMSAT" project team, I convey their message to the Global Amateur
Radio Satellite enthusiasts & users through my mail.
It gives us a great pleasure to inform the World Amateur Radio community
that, on 4th May 2010, HAMSAT (VO-52) is completing 5 years of successful
existence in Space rendering useful and fruitful services to the Amateur radio
community.
We as well take this opportunity with great pleasure to inform the
Global Amateur Radio community, that the overall system health and performance
of "Hamsat" - "The gift from INDIA/ISRO to World of Ham Radio" is good and
satisfactory.
To commemorate this mile stone achievement, we have intended to bring out a
'Comprehensive Performance & Utilization Report' of the payload (Transponder)
based on the user feed backs from across the Globe. In this regard, we request
all the Amateur Satellite Enthusiasts and users to kindly send us their feed
backs about the performance and utilization of the transponder. A detailed
report expressing their views, suggestions, comments, ratings and preferably a
comparison note made with other linear transponders, those already been flown
and currently available one's would be greatly appreciated.
The feed backs may kindly be copied to my mail ID as well.
I have herewith attached the mail received from Operation Director, HAMSAT.
Looking forward to hear from you all.
Thanking you
