Recent meetings with NASA officials have laid the foundation for the future of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program and, at the same time, garnered accolades for Amateur Radio. ARISS International Chair Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, and ARISS International Secretary-Treasurer Rosalie White, K1STO, met with NASA staffers at Johnson Spaceflight Center (JSC) in Houston in late summer. Sponsorship of the ARISS program is moving from NASA Headquarters to JSC. White said the planning sessions touched bases with a half-dozen JSC offices. She described them as "stepping stones" to the realization of future ARISS projects and programs

Sadly I can not join the Amsat symposium.
I wonder if there is someone who can record (good quality) VIDEO + AUDIO during
McArthur his speech.
