G3AAJ Trophy Awarded
/ARISS International Chair Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, has been presented with the Ron Broadbent, G3AAJ, Trophy during the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium.
“AMSAT-UK totally shocked me yesterday at the colloquium with the Ron Broadbent Trophy. I was nearly speechless when asked to come up and receive the trophy for ARISS work. I mentioned that, early on, Ron was a phenomenal supporter and contributor to ARISS, with his sage advice and guidance.”
The G3AAJ trophy is an annual AMSAT-UK award to an individual or group for outstanding service to the Amateur Satellite service. The trophy was donated to AMSAT-UK by the late Ron Broadbent, G3AAJ.
ARISS received the G3AAJ trophy last year in recognition of the ARISS UK team’s dedication in working with the UK Space Agency to facilitate the Principia Missionof astronaut Tim Peake, KG5BVI, aimed at engaging students in 10 UK schools in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
