The 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium and Annual Meeting will be held aboard the cruise ship Carnival Liberty, departing from the port of Galveston, Texas, on November 10 and returning to port on November 14. The cruise includes 2 full days at sea and 1 day in port at Cozumel, Mexico. Symposium presentations and meetings will be conducted during the days at sea, to allow time during the stop in Cozumel. The AMSAT Board of Directors meeting will take place in Galveston prior to the Symposium.— Thanks to AMSAT News Service
