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.
