COMSAT was one of the most extraordinary and unique venture of the space age. COMSAT as we knew it has disappeared with pieces scattered in a variety of directions or dissolved. One purpose of COMARA is maintaining social contacts. Preserving the Comsat Legacy, by attempting to ensure that materials and artifacts are not lost. COMSAT Legacy Project The COMSAT Legacy Project was formed for the purpose of acquiring and preserving the COMSAT records and artifacts currently held by Lockheed-Martin. An advisory board, the COMSAT Legacy Foundation, consisted of Joseph Charyk, Chairman, David Acheson, Luke Battle, Jerry Breslow, John Evans, John Johnson, John McLucas, Sid Metzger and Carl Reber. Some of the acquired documents were transferred to John Hopkins University. Some of the Charyk Papers were transferred to George Washington University. Ed Martin served as Executive Secretary. Some of the documents have been captured in digital form and are now being added to the Legacy section of the COMARA web site. Much of the work of converting the documents was done by Steve Teller and a number of volunteers who found and scanned the documents. This includes: Mike Hulley, Brian Teller, Heather Teller, Robert Kroll, Ron Johnson, and David Whalen. In 2010, the COMSAT Legacy Project website went down for a few months. Copies of 20,000 computer files were transferred to COMARA in July 2011 and some of these documents were added to the comara.org web site. A much expanded set of documents and pictures are now hosted on the COMAST Legacy Project website and references to those documents are on the COMARA website. Please be sure to view all the documents available on the COMSAT Legacy Project. Confessions of a Technocrat – John McLucas The Air University Press published the book by Dr. John McLucas. The web site not only offers the book for sale, but also includes a PDF file that you can download [free] containing the book. Eight pages of the book include his views of his time at COMSAT.
