Per Aspera Ad Astra

Ground station

Section leader: Kéri Lajos

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.

We design the antenna system so that we can receive the signal of any satellite, space probe, space station or radio star visible in our sky. Where the technical conditions and the service provider allow it, we also operate as a transmitting station in compliance with the relevant regulations (ITU-RR, NMHH-NFFF).

Our automated station, operating under the call sign HA1KHJ, continuously receives the data packets of the Hunity satellite and forwards them to the BME processing server.

Satellite development

Section leader: Marton Gábor

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.

Airship and high-altitude balloon

Section leader: Simon András János

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.

Radio astronomy

Section leader: Rédling Benedikta

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.”

CanSat

Section leader: Pataki Péter

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.

Management

Section leader: Ternóczy Réka

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.
