It is a duplication of the already existing well developed OSCAR article, So I've nominated it for speedy deletion under criterion A10. Roger (talk) 17:02, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it seems to have lived on. It's a mess, too. Or still. Seems to me that there should be something like an overview or the type, probably a section on the pre-AMSAT satellites, with appropriate pointers to existing articles of course, and then a section on the sats with OSCAR designations, another on the Radio Sputniks, and then maybe one on the "others". Probably need something on MIR/SAREX/ISS, too. What a mess. --plaws (talk) 01:40, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Amateur radio satellite. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Oscar 1 history

[edit]

The comment about "NASA Specifications" is nonsense. NASA had absolutely nothing to do with Corona/Discoverer and would have had exactly zero input to what when on it, and probably had no access to the program due to classification — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.71.170.52 (talk) 05:37, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested outline for re-organization

[edit]

Seems like this article is in need of a re-org. I would suggest something along the lines of:

Overview/Description

Project OSCAR

The first 5 OSCARs

AMSAT

AMSAT-NA
AMSAT-DL
AMSAT-UK
CAMSAT
et cetera
There are other national AMSATs that need to be covered.

Radio Sputnik

Completely missing from the current article.

The multitudes of others that aren't OSCARs or Radio Sputniks but are still amateur radio satellites

MIR / SAREX / ARISS

Also missing ...

Probably something about satellites that send telemetry in the amateur bands but that aren't actually amateur radio satellites


Naturally, the bulk of the content would be in other articles with brief summaries here. "FM LEOs" isn't worthy of inclusion here, IMHO, though I suppose it could be its own article.

OK - who wants to start?!  :-D --plaws (talk) 20:08, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

EO-80

[edit]

The information in the table and its footnotes on EO-80 appears to be largely incorrect, it was intended to become a repeater but they broke it during a test and it is 'power negative'... See [[1]] Stub Mandrel (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should the Fox-1 series satellites be added to the list of FM satellites? three are active. - ZLEA Talk\Contribs 14:51, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
