There are many people that the QuakeSat team would like to give special thanks to, because without their dedication, their time, and their expertise the QuakeSat project would have never been possible.

  First of all for making the entire QuakeSat project even possible, we would like to thank first and foremost Professor Bob Twiggs from Stanford University and Keoki Jackson from Lockheed Martin.

  A warm thanks to Celeste and Kevin Ford of Stellar Solutions for being sponsors of the the QuakeSat mission.

 Thank you to QuakeFinder for bringing the vision of QuakeSat Mission.

 A special thanks to Ed Luzzy from L&M Electronics in San Carlos for all of his help in precision machining and expertise in mechanical craftsmanship.

 Also a sincere thanks to the entire Stanford University Mentors group including Lars Karrlson and John Ellis .  Without their valuable time and knowledge in designing satellite communication systems, I would have never been able to design and tune the QuakeSat antenna system.

 Thanks to , Jamie Cutler , Stanford University PhD student.   Without his dedicated support in satellite communication software and ground station support, we would not have been able to finish QuakeSat in a year and a half time.

  Thanks to Yoann Duriaud , Stanford graduate student and NASA engineer.  Without the path that he already blazed in satellite communication systems construction, I wouldn't have a model to follow after.

 Also thanks the to many people who dedicated some of their time to help us out in the early stages of QuakeSat construction including Anthony Pena, Rich Shanahan, and James Harrison.

  Thanks to Carston Mundt from NASA for his help on the QuakeSat Watchdog timer/PIC programming. 

 Thanks to Bill Stansbury and the crew at AMA in Sunnyvale for their help in micro-assembly and soldering.

 And a sincere thanks to my wife, Yunlu Wang.  Without her continued support for the past year and a half, my continued time and effort on the QuakeSat project would not have been possible.
