* LUNAR EXPLORATION CONFERENCE SCHEDULED *
==========================================
International Space Enterprises (ISE), a U.S. corporation planning a series 
of privately-financed missions to the Moon, has been selected to co-host an 
International Lunar Exploration Conference and Apollo commemorative event 
in San Diego.  The conference is tentatively scheduled for 13-16 November 
1994, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of America's second piloted 
mission to the Moon, Apollo 12.  In addition to bringing together lunar 
scientists from all over the world, the event will kick off a nationwide 
educational initiative, whose ultimate goal is to fly a student experiment 
to the Moon by December 1997, the 25th anniversary of Apollo 17, the final 
Apollo mission to the Moon.
 
The November event will be co-sponsored by the National Space Society and
the Spaceweek International Association, non-profit organizations dedicated
to the expansion of human activities in space.  The San Diego chapter of the
National Space Society will work with ISE to develop the technical program
for the conference, which will feature presentations and workshops on a
variety of topics relating to exploration and utilization of the Moon. 
Spaceweek will manage the Apollo 12 commemorative event, planned as a gala
fund-raising banquet on the evening of 15 November.  Proceeds from the
conference and banquet will be used for development and flight of the student
experiment, which will be selected through a nationwide competition held
during the 1995-96 academic year.
 
The specific site for the November conference will be selected within the
next few weeks, and a preliminary conference program will be released in
June.  Details of the nationwide student experiment contest - which will be
designed to involve students at all academic levels in the 1997 lunar mission
- will be announced as they become available and a draft contest guidelines
document will be presented at the November event.  For additional information
please contact Tom Kessler of ISE at (619) 637-5772.

* UFO ON 2-METERS *
===================
G3IOR reported an unidentified satellite sending telemetry on 145.592 MHz.  
It was first heard by G3JQI in England at 18:50 UTC "dopplering" down until 
a 18:55 UTC LOS on 16-Mar-94.  
 
Keep an ear out for this spacecraft, and send reception reports to 
SpaceNews.
 
 
* OSCAR-11 NEWS *
=================
G3RWL reports that UoSAT-OSCAR-11 is about to re-commence its regular news 
bulletin transmissions.  The news bulletins are transmitted in ASCII on a 
frequency of 145.826 MHz FM AFSK at 1200 bps. 
 
 
* SpaceNews AVAILABILITY *
==========================
SpaceNews archives are now available via anonymous FTP at pilot.njin.net!
Files may be found under the /pub/SpaceNews directory.  All issues from
1993 have been zipped together in one file, while 1994 issues are available
separately in ASCII form.  The IP address for pilot.njin.net is 128.6.7.38,
and answers to frequently asked questions, satellite software, and space
related GIF images will be added in the not-too-distant future.
 
The latest issue of SpaceNews has been available to those with Internet
access for some time by using the Unix "finger" command as follows:
 
        finger magliaco@pilot.njin.net
 
Those without "finger" capabilities can receive SpaceNews via e-mail by 
sending a blank message to jfesler@netcom.com with a subject of #finger 
magliaco@pilot.njin.net.
 
SpaceNews is also available on Usenet under the newsgroups of 
rec.radio.amateur.space and sci.space.news, thanks to the folks at the
University of California at San Diego.  It is also available on the
Amateur Packet Radio Network, and several of the "Pacsat" satellites, thanks
to Pacsat ground stations who upload the issues to the birds each week.
 
SpaceNews has also been known to appear on the packet radio personal message 
system operated by the Cosmonauts on the Russian space station Mir.  :-)
 
 
* SpaceNews BBS *
=================
A "SpaceNews" packet radio BBS has been established by Mario, KD6ILO in 
Tacoma, Washington.  Mario reports the BBS carries SpaceNews, AMSAT, and
NASA information, and serves the Puget Sound area on a frequency of 
144.910 MHz.  The BBS is also linked to the UoSAT-OSCAR-22 satellite 
through the N7RSN SatGate also located in Tacoma, WA.
 
 
* FO-20 SCHEDULE *
==================
The FO-20 command station announced that FO-20 will be placed in Mode JA
(Analog transponder mode) during Field Day 1994 (25-Jun-94 18:00 UTC through
