[amsat-bb] ANS-135 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin - HuskySat-1 Designated HuskySat-OSCAR 107 (HO-107)

[Mark Hammond]

Yay!  This is awesome.  Seem like not long ago it was in the "teens."  
Lots of growth.  Thanks to the folks making this happen.   Great example 
of a fruitful university and AMSAT partnership.   Hope there are many more.
