The next issue of the Astophile is being put together at Minuteman Press. They are doing all the editing without cost to the Space Unit.The next issue includes a GREAT article on previously unknown Missile Mail and, of course, Artemis flight. |

Great news Tom about the next Astrophile featuring an article about an unknown missile mail and Artemis 1. Do you know off hand what that missile mail might be? |

Several 1963 Regulus flights from multiple submarines not listed in E-Z catalog. |

In various articles and threads I read there crops up, mentioned in passing, the name Space Unit, but, a bit like the Illuminati, I cannot seem to find it.What was/is it? Does it still exist? Editor's note: Threads merged. |

Space Unit is the US space topic collector organization associated with the American Philatelic Society and American Topical Association.It is similar to the Great Britain based Astro Space Stamp Society and the Weltraum Philatelie based in Germany. |

How do you join? Do I need to be a member of the American Philatelic Society first? And do I also after that need to 'join' the ATA?Only all the links I follow up on the internet either end in a DNS error or my email administrator returns emails such as the one I sent to the contact listed on the ATA webpage (ctorris@aol.com). |

The website has not had updates in a long time. Can someone state the last time an Astrophile was received? It's also been a long time for me. Thank you. |

Not yet, we are working on how/what way to distribute the Astrophile going forward. Hope to get something out soon as we do have enough material to put the issue together. |

I look forward to the publication as soon as possible, if there is an electronic version of the sale, will solve the difficulties of space enthusiasts outside the United States. |

I didn't receive any Astrophile publications last year. Maybe others did? Please explain the 2024 dues if the Space Unit is continuing. Thank you. |

Am I the only person interested in the SU status? Are we supposed to send dues or not? Thank you. |

It's been a year since I first asked the question. I think the assumption everyone can make is the SPACE UNIT is no more. I'm really surprised at the lack of comments about this unfortunate issue. |
