About AMSAT-CA

AMSAT-CA promotes, develops, and supports Amateur Radio in space, including via human-made and natural satellites (e.g., the Moon), space stations and planets, and related experiments, as well as new developments in technology, methods and techniques.

We strive to bring those together who have interests related to this mission, and create an inclusive community where folks from across Canada who are motivated by common goals can meet, collaborate and exchange ideas. We also serve as a resource for those who are new to the world of Amateur Radio and satellites, connecting them with experienced individuals, and helping them get started.

AMSAT-CA is committed to the protection of Amateur satellite spectrum from encroachment of commercial interests and pollution by human-made interference. We are happy to assist members with guidance and advocacy in this regard; please email us at regulatory@amsat-ca.org with questions and concerns.

For university-based satellite teams looking for endorsement by us for IARU frequency coordination, please note that at the moment is done by the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) Satellite Committee only. You can reach them at satellites@rac.ca. Noting their endorsement only on the forms will not harm of a Canadian mission’s chances for receiving IARU endorsement.

AMSAT-CA is actively working with our membership to develop our Strategic Plan. If you’d like to learn more, or contribute your ideas to this, connect with us at president@amsat-ca.org.

We would like to hereby thank our sponsor Free Range Cloud and Google for Nonprofits who provide us with in-kind contributions to facilitate the administration of our organization. We are grateful for your support!
