Congratulations to the AMSAT -UK team on the 10th Anniversary of the launch of AMSAT Oscar – 73.
What a magnificent bird it has turned out to be.
Congratulations to all those who were involved with getting AO-73 from concept to launch. Great job.!!!!
Kudos to all those who have managed the bird over the last 10 years.

Over the last 6 or 7 weeks we have noted a slight increase in the spin rate of AO-73 after a considerable period of “stable” spin.
