We would like to thank all our readers and writers to make our newsletter again a success this year. We shall continue to improve the newsletter wherever we can and welcome all your feedback very much. Dear SATNET member, this newsletter is yours! It is all about your stories, your experiences in the field, your challenges and achievements. Please keep writing and let us continuously learn from each other!  Again this year, the Editorial team was given the difficult task to award some of our writers. And while every contributor deserves a prize, we managed to select the 2007 prize winners. During the annual reflection meeting the following awards have been given out.
