[net.space] Private Space Telescope...

maxwell@tle.DEC (01/03/86)

Several months  ago  I  received an announcement/solicitation from a private
group  planning  to  build,  and  have  placed  in  orbit,  a telescope. The
'membership' would be involved in determining how the 'scope spent its time,
and (wow!) the images produced by the 'scope would be generally available to
the public with relatively inexpensive HAM-radio-like equipment.

At the time, I thought it was a super idea, one that I wanted to participate
in, but for which I had no money to donate.

Well, I  might now be able to afford something, but I seem to have misplaced
my  copy of the announcement. Is there anyone else out there who recieved it
also,  that  has  it  handy,  any  would  be  willing  to  respond  with the
particulars?  Perhaps  even  the  complete  text?  I  think that it would be
generally  interesting  enough  to go to this newsgroup, but I'd like to get
the information again personally....
