Emerging technology's impact on the next generation of amateur radio satellites will be among the subjects explored at the AMSAT South Africa Space Symposium. Attendees will learn the outcome of proposals that were made for new geostationary amateur satellites and will hear about ground-based systems linking low-earth orbit and geostationary satellites.
Technology is driving this symposium in yet another way: the four-hour event, which is set for Saturday the 1st of August, will take place online, enabling more people to attend without incurring costly travel fees. Guests who belong to IARU member societies are admitted free; there is a small fee for nonmembers.. The symposium theme is "The new Amateur Radio World in Space."
