	American Society of Aerospace Pilots(ASAP)


	For those of you familiar with ASAP, it has recently
	relocated from Schaumburg, Illinois to Grants Pass, Oregon.
	The new address is as follows:

		ASAP Headquarters
		946 SE 8th ST
		Grants Pass, Oregon 97526     Phone: (503)476-8210

	And here is some background information about ASAP from their
	brochure for anyone who is interested.

	----------------------------------------------------------

	   ASAP is a not-for-profit organization with membership
	open to anyone with a desire to be part of the most unique
	space organization in the world.

	   ASAP was founded in 1981 by a group of professional pilots
	whose research indicated widespread interest in the utili-
	zation of space by private enterprise, the professional pilot
	community, the general public, and decision makers who could
	influence the future of spaceflight.

	   ASAP was formed as a vehicle to accelerate the evolution
	of routine space operations, and to keep the American public
	informed of developments in this area.

	   Membership in ASAP is open to everyone. As a member, you
	are invited to participate in the worlds only Spaceflight
	Ground School. The curriculum is based on NASA's Astronaut
	Candidate Training Program.

	   Membership is divided into five divisions; Pilot Division,
	Spacecraft Crewmember, Space Station Operations, Spaceline
	Operations and Youth.
	-------------------------------------------------------------

	So much for the advertisement.

	   The dues for Full members in any division are $50 per year
	and for Associate members it is $25 per year.  The catch is
	that full members MUST take the ground school.  Since the
	organization is non-profit and receives no government funding,
	all member services are paid for by the members and the ground
	school is paid for by those members attending the ground school.
	I have personally taken the Space Navigation course and have
	started the Orbital Mechanics Course.  So far they are well
	thought out and very informative.

	For more information write ASAP or me.
