?We are really thrilled that the IRG is growing in members. We are especially pleased to welcome Russ Hogan as a Director. It is pleasing to see such a prominent member of the satellite community really getting involved with interference reduction,? added Martin Coleman, Executive Director of IRG. ?It?s significant that GovSat is focusing on satellite interference before it has even launched its first satellite.
