The Budapest New Technology Meetup Group has requested a presentation about the development of Masat-1. The goal was to give a general introduction and some software related issues were also mentioned. Please have a look at the pictures in the Galery.

The Pico and Nano Satellites Workshop will be held between 1 and 2 October 2009, where the team developing the Masat-1 small satellite will also represent Hungary. The main objective of the workshop is to introduce the technology required for the research activities performed by small satellites, and, naturally, to give an overview on the active developments at the universities constructing satellites. The host institution (Universität Würzburg) can already be proud of two successfully launched satellites built by students. The CubeSat called UWE-1 was launched on 27 October 2005, while UWE-2 on 29 September 2009. This second small satellite was taken to orbit by a PSLV rocket from India, just as it is intended in case of Masat-1. Ádám Cseh, a student graduated from BME, was also involved in the development of UWE-2.
One of the most notable events of the engineering community, the CAD-Terv PLM Day 2009 will be organized this year by CAD-Terv Kft. DS PLM solutions, as focal points in the developments and innovations of ENOVIA SmarTeam and CATIA will also be presented. The agenda is further enriched by professional and technical demonstrations, exhibitions and games. Visit the event if you wish to learn more about the design software with which the structural elements of the satellite Masat-1 have been designed. Further details about the program are available on this page.
