Hams in Space: Project Oscar

In early December 1961, a United States Air Force rocket took off from
Vandenberg Air Force Base in California carrying a special payload.

The main payload was a Corona surveillance satellite, but tucked just aft
of that spacecraft was a tiny package of homebrew electronics stuffed into
something that looked like a slice of cake.

What was in that package and how it came to tag along on a top-secret
military mission is the story of *OSCAR 1*, the world’s first amateur radio
satellite.
