Major updates regarding history of Project OSCAR[edit]
Hello all - I am updating this article with information from one of the original Project OSCAR team members, Lance Ginner, as well as some of the definitive sources of the history of Project OSCAR and OSCAR 1 (See 1962 QST articles cited). Lance was an amateur radio operator and Lockheed employee throughout the OSCARs 1, 2 and 3 era. There are a lot of errors on other AMSAT and OSCAR articles regarding TRW being involved in OSCARs 1,2 and 3, when it actually was Lockheed (TRW came later, OSCAR 4). I hope to clean those up as well. Thanks. Hartze11 (talk) 02:37, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
