MSA Aims For First Mars Society Orbital Payload

The Mars Society Australia (MSA) will become a primary user of the Joint Australian Engineering Satellite (JAESAT) which is to be launched in late 2002. If successful, JAESAT could become the first Mars Society orbital payload. SAFMARS will allow Earth-based Mars analogue field workers to send and receive messages to and from the Internet using portable terminals.
