******** UoSAT Visited by The Queen

UoSAT had a visit from The Queen (of England) on Friday 20 March.  Her visit
was to initiate the construction of the University's Center for Satellite
Engineering Research.  The Queen unveiled a hologram of UoSAT-5.  She then
went to the UoSAT control room, where she had 15 minutes to learn about
UoSAT.  She looked at an Earth image taken by UoSAT-5, listened on a small
radio as UoSAT-5 "spoke" a greeting from the association of commonwealth
universities.  The Queen also used a UoSAT satellite to send a message
to the President, Republic of Zambia, Fredric J Chiluba.


******** UoSAT-OSCAR-11

     If you are receiving UO-11 bulletins, please drop a postcard

satellite.  Send postcards to Greg Jones G0/WD5IVD, UoSAT, Elec
