Volume 5 of The Adventures of Zack and Max, Max in Space,explores new radio technologies, both digital and satellite. The writers are again the students from the Lake Washington Ham Club (KC7OIO) at Ben Franklin Elementary School in Kirkland, Washington. Under the leadership of Mr. Dave Condon (KI7YP), the students set out to learn about amateur radio in space, specifically digital radio, satellites, and satellite orbits. A local aerospace facility, Aerojet, invited the writers of our comic book to take a field trip and see first hand everything from propulsion systems for satellites to how radios are used in space to help position equipment.
