VITA

Volunteers In Technical Assistance VITA is a humanitarian organisation, and gained FCC pioneer status following their work using digital Store and Forward communications, by sponsoring communication payloads on UoSAT-2, 3 and 5. More recently, in collaboration with CTA, their payload was lost (GEMSTAR) due to a launch failure. VITA are now collaborating with Final Analysis Communication Inc. in order to launch their payload on the FAISAT spacecraft.

VITA received FCC pioneer status in early 90's and FCC licence in the first round of applications. It received an amendment to its second round application in early 1998.
