Project Overview & Current Status (23/July/08)
We're not just building a satellite, we're helping Massey University in Auckland develop a satellite command station and space capable laboratory facilities.
Organization
AMSAT-ZL - New Zealand's Amateur Satellite Organization, active in the Amateur (Radio) Satellite Service under the Radio Regulations (ITU-R) of the ITU, is affiliated to The New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters (Inc), commonly known as NZART.
General
KiwiSAT will carry both amateur radio communications, and a scientific experiment in Small Satellite Attitude Control.
Earlier design used the low efficiency solar cells, an enlarged unit takes advantage of the newer cells high efficiency units.

Clarification
KiwiSAT is an orbiting satellite project by radio amateurs under a strict "not-for-profit" regime and should not be confused with KiwiSat, a commercial ground based animal tracking transmitter. As prime owners of the name KiwiSAT, AMSAT-ZL permit its use in the lower case format (KiwiSat 101) by SIRTRACK for their earth based animal tracking transmitter unit.
