ARLA/CLUSTER: New challenge coin premium for AMSAT Fox donations

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

AMSAT is excited to announce that a new premium collectable is now
available for qualifying donations to the *Fox* satellite program.

AMSAT has commissioned a unique challenge coin for donors who have
contributed at the $100 level or higher. This challenge coin is shaped as
an isometric view of a Fox-1 CubeSat, complete with details such as the
stowed UHF antenna, solar cells, and camera lens viewport.
Struck in 3mm thick brass, plated with antique silver, and finished in
bright enamel, the coin is scaled to be approximately 1:4 scale, or 1 inch
along each of the six sides. The reverse has the AMSAT Fox logo.
The design may be seen at http://www.amsat.org/?p=3275

The coins are scheduled for delivery just prior to the 2014 AMSAT Space
Symposium, and will be first distributed to donors attending the Symposium.

Coins will also be made available to qualifying donors that have
contributed since the Fox-1C announcement on July 18, 2014 upon request.
Donations may be made via the AMSAT website at www.amsat.org, via the
FundRazr crowdsourcing app at fnd.us/c/6pz92, or via the AMSAT office at
(888) 322-6728.

The Fox program is designed to provide a platform for university
experiments in space, as well as provide FM repeater capability for radio
amateurs worldwide. Fox-1A and 1C are set to launch in 2015, and Fox-1B
(also known as RadFXSat) is awaiting NASA ELANA launch assignment.

Further informationon the Fox project can be found at www.amsat.org.
