Project OSCAR would like to bid farewell to the great Sir Arthur C. Clarke, an author, scientist and futurist. He died at the age of 90 in Sri Lanka, his adopted home.
Up until his passing, Clarke remained active by commenting and monitoring humanity’s space efforts, such as the Saturn Cassini Mission. He envisioned satellite communications in a seminal paper “Extra-terrestrial Relays” published in 1945 Wireless World magazine. Clarke was an honorary lifetime AMSAT member, #LM-2001. Those familiar with his work will understand the numbering scheme.
73 and Farewell, Sir Arthur!
