The vibration test of Masat-1 took place on Monday 5th July, 2010. We have mentioned earlier that we have broken new ground in several fields of developing the Hungarian satellite, so we were happy to be able to perform this test in our country.

We carried out the test according to the specifications we got from the company organizing the launch services. The specification was made by experts of the Indian Space Agency, and it summarizes the conditions that satellite has to withstand during the launch. It’s important to know that we shook not the satellite itself, but the container which will hold it during the launch.

Two equivalent models of Masat-1 are being manufactured. We performed these tests on the qualification model. According to the specifications we had to test this model approximately two times harder than the flight model to ensure that every failure comes out. The qualification model completed the test succesfully.

We performed most of the tests at Dunaújváros College. Here we would like to thank for their help.
