In reference to the articles on intercepting Space Telescope transmissions,
I recently received fund-raising materials from a group called the 
Independent Space Research Group.  They are trying to build an Amateur
Space Telescope, along the lines of the AMSAT amateur radio satellites.
The instrument they describe would be an 18" Cassegrain telescope with
2 solid state cameras, a small spectrograph, plus command and control
hardware.  They hope to launch this in the next few years.  It is claimed
that anyone with ~$400 worth of equipment could receive transmissions
from the telescope, and display them.  For anyone interested in more
information, here is their address:

		Independent Space Research Group, Inc.
		P.O. Box 23083
		Rochester, N.Y. 14692

I got this info from their fund-raising materials, so if anyone has more
knowledge about the credentials of this group, I would appreciate hearing
about it.
