Here are some companies and organizations that supply materials useful in amateur satellite work. Note that these companies are not affiliated with AMSAT, and AMSAT can take no responsibility for them. Likewise, I have written these descriptions and provided these addresses without consulting the companies, so they can't be responsible for what I've said here.
Many of the products carried by these manufacturers are carried by local amateur radio dealers.
If you know of an outfit that ought to be listed here but isn't, please let me know (email to kb5mu@amsat.org).
This list is in alphabetical order.
