March 3, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of AMSAT's incorporation AMSAT was incorporated in the District of Columbia on March 3, 1969

Perry, W3PK who was AMSAT President from 1969 to mid-1980 said, "We filed the application for incorporation 40 years ago on Feb 27, 1969 A copy of the filing has been saved at: http://www amsat org/amsat-new/AboutAmsat/documents/incorporation php

You can see a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation at: http://www amsat org/amsat-new/AboutAmsat/documents/certificate php

Perry is working with Dick Daniels, W4PUJ to preserve the original AMSAT Newsletters, archived in paper format onto electronic media Additional AMSAT history can be found in the archives of the "Amateur Satellite Report" Newsletters scanned and converted to PDF by Phil Karn, KA9Q Phil has these issues posted on his website (with AMSAT's
permission) See: http://www ka9q net/newsletters html

As the electronic archive project makes progress Perry will issue a call for one or more volunteers willing to receive scans of additional issues JPEG format via e-mail, perform the OCR work and help us change them to searchable PDF files

Watch upcoming issues of The AMSAT Journal for articles of AMSAT's roots AMSAT will also feature 40 years of our accomplishments at the 2009 Dayton Hamvention
