In August 2011 Mario Lorenz, DL5MLO, from AMSAT-DL gave a 
presentation on amateur radio space communications as part 
of the Hacker Space Program track at the Chaos Communication 
Camp 2011. The 5 day event, held near Berlin, Germany, 
attracted hackers and makers from across Europe. Building 
amateur radio satellites has always been challenging and 
involves using technology in creative ways, so has great 
appeal to the hacker community. Mario's talk was entitled 
From OSCAR 1 to Mars and beyond - Amateur Space Exploration – 
The last 50 years, Now, and the Future. 

An hour long video of the talk, in English, is now available
