The Pannon SpaceLab was established

On December 18, 2024, the Pannon SpaceLab was founded at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology of the University of Pecs. The purpose of the group is to unify the local space industry capacities, companies, and other organisations. The SpaceLab is an open collaboration, anybody is welcome to join.

At the Kick-Off Meeting, the participants decided to build an educational university CubeSat. The purpose is to gain knowledge about standards, establish relationships, and finally launch a small satellite. The collaboration is highly supported by the engineering education at the University of Pecs, and its dedicated special purpose is to involve the students in the development of this space probe.
