The Saudi Amateur Radio Society was established by the associations and institutions system issued by the Council of Ministers Resolution No. 61 dated 18/02/1437 AH and its implementing regulations issued by Ministerial Decree No. 73 739 dated 11/06/1437 AH, in order to develop relations and communication between the different peoples of the world and the exchange of experience And knowledge among them and contribute to the circumstances and emergency situation

The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (as AMSAT is officially known) was formed in 1969 as a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) educational organization chartered in the District of Columbia. Its aim is to foster Amateur Radio’s participation in space research and communication. Since that time, other like-minded groups throughout the world have formed to pursue the same goals. Many of these groups share the “AMSAT” name. While the affiliations between the various groups are not formal, they do cooperate very closely with one another. For example, international teams of AMSAT volunteers are often formed to help build each other’s space hardware, or to help launch and control each other’s satellites
