Our Motto
“Never be afraid to do something new! Remember, a lone amateur built the Ark, and a heap of experts built the Titanic.”
— Vámos Miklós
A CanSat is a soft-drink-can sized satellite model that walks through the whole life cycle of a real space mission in a few minutes: design, integration, testing, rocket launch, parachute descent and downlink of the measured data to the ground station.
Our teams collect sensor data (temperature, pressure, position), transmit it by radio to the ground receiver and evaluate the measurement after landing. CanSat is the best entry point into satellite engineering: small scale, real engineering process.
We regularly compete in the Hungarian CanSat competitions and also mentor secondary-school teams together with CanSatLab.

It is no secret that we also want to build our own small university satellite. During the construction of the MRC-100 satellite we developed an excellent partnership with the BME team. This joint effort inspired us to build a twin satellite together with them. The 3PQ-sized satellite will carry 1 PQ BME, 1 PQ SZESAT and 1 PQ guest experiment.

If there are satellites, there must be ground stations too! The ground station on the roof of the University of Győr, created after careful site selection, requires continuous development and operation.

If the legal predecessor of our university had existed in 1868, Dávid Schwarz would certainly have spent his student years with us and taken an active role in founding the college. Following in the footsteps of the famous Hungarian inventor, we rise to the heights with our high-altitude balloons and airship.

We have long explored the universe with our telescopes from here on Earth, but observation requires a clear sky. Cloudy weather does not discourage us: then we use our antennas to explore everything that is invisible to the eye. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry taught us: “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”

The Management section keeps the daily life of the college running: project scheduling, coordination of resources and procurement, preparation of grant applications and reports, and organising cooperation between the sections.
