Hi Bill, W1PA

The following page is not a marketing web page but an 
official AMSAT-NA web page

If you you mean that the the "emergency" access ability used
by AMSAT as part of the justification for funding or launch
vehicle access it doesn't mean it works for that in any practical
situation it is like to say that AMSAT tells falsehood to NASA
and ESA but as far I know AMSAT is not used to talk nonsense.
