QUALIFICATIONS:
The association has previously been somewhat restricted to professionals. It is
now open to all who are interested in the space sciences and related disciplines. We are particularly interested
in those who are students, educators and scientists, but the association also wishes to encourage all who are serious
and wish to learn more about this great adventure of Humankind. Membership is also open to our many friends in other
countries. We want to encourage everyone to be a part of this important undertaking, so that you can take full advantage
of everyting from "personal telescope time" to other forms of participation. (Of course membership is not
required to just look at this web site. Membership is a privilege, not a requirement.)
PROCESS:
Applying for membership is as simple as addressing and properly posting an envelope with
the inclusion of your name and address and phone number (type or hand print clearly) and your e-mail address, if you
have one. The envelope should also contain the grand total of $30 (USD) for a full year of membership. This
will help to cover the mailings and other expenses involved for that period.
APPLICATION ADDRESS:
Checks should be made out to "American Communication Arts" which serves as the association's
representative. Write "Astrophysics" in the memo line of the check. Send the envelope, with enclosures, to:
"American Communication Arts - 1804 Garnet Ave. - #377 - San Diego, CA 92109 - USA.

You will be duly registered. You will be sent an official membership card. You

ON A PROFESSIONAL TELESCOPE (accessed through the Internet). All communications from you will received priority
treatment. You will be given a direct line phone number to our office (through A.C.A.). You will be

for any association events that might occur in or near your geographic location. All association participations will

IN CONCLUSION:
We invite you to make this a significant part of your life. We want you to share in
the great adventure of discovery. And, in advance, we want to thank you for your serious interest. You may be
a scientist or a student. You may be from America or from Asia or Europe. You may be young or old, man or woman.
It doesn't matter from where or who you are. What does matter is that you wish to follow the great quest of our species
--- out into the Universe.
We welcome you.
