The four NetSat satellites for formation flying were built in Würzburg and financed by the European Research Council with an Advanced Grant. The launch was supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Economics and happened on 28.9.2020. More detailed information: www.telematik-zentrum.de/netsat

Innovative Sensor Networks Based on Self-Organizing Nano-Satellites is the topic of "NetSat". The four „NetSat“ nano-satellites will autonomously control, for the first time worldwide, a three-dimensional configuration in space in order to enable new observation methods for climate research as well as for innovative future telecommunication systems.

To learn more about the practice of operating a satellite mission, our SaTec students visited the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt.
