Welcome to the website of SZESAT, the interdisciplinary student research college of Széchenyi István University!
All members of our team take part in the projects voluntarily; our personal goals include gaining knowledge, developing, self-education and creation. Our students decide which professional projects to launch, and it is their task to build and run the project organisation needed for them. Students are drawn to emerging technologies — space, quantum, artificial intelligence, high-altitude platforms — and gladly choose professional projects from these fields.
It is our undisguised goal to build and operate our own pocket satellite in outer space in the future.
We consider it important to share the knowledge we have gained with younger generations, sparking their interest in the natural sciences. We are happy to measure our knowledge at international and domestic professional competitions, and we equally welcome it when others share their experience with us.
Our Motto
“The impossible is just an invitation to disrupt the status quo.”
Our values
Volunteering
Every member works on projects by their own choice — motivation comes from within.
Modular development
We think in smaller, independently working units so new ideas can be added quickly.
Open science
We document and publish so that our results are usable by others.
Interdisciplinarity
Engineering, computer science, physics and communication students work side by side.
Our mission
“Our goal is to train the next generation of space engineers through the development of real, working satellite systems.”
