Our team welcomes the new members: Henrik and Zsolt! Henrik is doing his BSc in Electrical Engineering and he is interested in microcontroller based embedded systems. Zsolt is a Transportation Engineer student; he was a participant in the Spacebeer project.

Our satellite will transmit its telemetry in the amateur radio frequency band, in order to do so we need a registered callsign. The HA5MASAT callsign is now officially dedicated to the satellite thanks to the National Communications Authority, Hungary (NCAH) and to the Hungarian Radio Amateur Society. Every telemetry transmission will begin with the callsign in CW (Morse code).

You can find an article about the project in Hungarian on the csakjohirek.hu webpage.
