Educational visit to C3S

NASA’s editor team reached out to us again this year, to introduce the improvements of innovative CubeSat structures previously shortlisted in their original study. We were honored to present the upgraded version of our structure, that uses backplane PCB for bus communication which is intended to provide independent assembly order, simplifies the stack-up tolerances, and uses space graded interface connectors.

Every year, the publication introducing the representatives of the Hungarian space sector gets more and more extensive. C3S welcomes newcomers in the industrial, as well as in the research area.

Since the foundation of C3S we participated every year in the most prominent event of the European space industry, namely the Space Tech Expo. This year the event along with our booth moved to the online space.

We are happy to announce that Gyula Horváth, C3S LLC CEO and Marco Mariani, SAB Launch Services Srl. CEO signed the agreement on the launch of C3S’s 3U CubeSat on a VEGA VV19 in spring of next year.

HERMES (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites) Scientific Pathfinder (HERMES-SP) is a mission concept based on a constellation of nano-satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), hosting new miniaturized detectors to probe the X-ray temporal emission of bright high-energy transients such as Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) and the electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Wave Events (GWE).

An agreement between gentlemen is usually sealed with a handshake, or at least a feast in Bruno. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to do that due to the pandemic, but it doesn’t get in the way of the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two companies.

The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade organized this event for the first time with the participation of local space researchers and players of the space industry with the aim of presenting ESA programs with Hungarian contribution.

C3S got featured on Via Satellite among 10 companies that are making a difference in the satellite industry with the use of AI. We are proud to be among the first companies applying AI on-board of a satellite platform. The use of artificial intelligence will change the space industry forever. Are you excited? We will keep you updated.

Milánkovics Dorottya, Project Manager of CubeSat projects represented C3S at the panel discussion organized by MOMENTUS during the SaaS Workshop: How to Host your Payload in Space. In the course of the talk, they covered C3S’s shared payload concept with Dorottya mentioning several use cases of such solution. Sharing the payload bay means a cost effective, short-term, and schedulable option to those research, university or IOD project owners who – due to the mission’s character or the small size of the payload – don’t insist on being launched on a sperate platform to LEO.

Companies from our region are not likely to be featured on Techcrunch, however they couldn’t overlook the exciting news regarding the cooperation of two companies from such innovative sectors. We do think it’s exciting as well.
