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.
