Mirex Proposal disclaimer

The posted Amateur Radio proposals from Mirex for Mir and the ISS are just that, they are Proposals.
None of the project listed here are currently scheduled for official flight.
These proposals were specifically developed to be used by Amateur radio satellite beginners around the world. Mirex realizes, that without a steady stream of beginners experimenting Amateur Radio satellites, that we will loose our Access to the Amateur Radio satellite Band.

Benefits of the Mirex Proposals.

  • 1. The Mirex proposals can be built and delivered in a very short amount of time.

  • 2. They are designed for Amateur radio stations who are just beginning to try satellites for the first time.

  • 3. Ground stations requirements for the 2-meter mono band project costs less than $500.00

  • 4. The Mirex proposals can be used a place holders, to keep interested in ISS, while the more expensive and complex AMSAT super stations are being built.

  • 5. the Mirex proposals will help keep overall interest in Amateur Radio Satellite operations.

The Mirex Proposals have been submitted to MAREX, SAREX, ARRL and ARISS.
Prototype hardware is already under development. Mirex would like to thank the following companies for the generous donations and support of the Mirex projects, past and future
