mur.sat - the mur.at satellite
In 2011 mur.at will launch this satellite. Interorbital Systems offers its TubeSat personal satellite kit for aprox. USD 8,600 (launch inclusive). The satellite will occupy a LEO for a couple of weeks before burning in the atmosphere on reentry. This is a SpaceArt project kindly supported by BMUKK.
Before mursat will be sent to its LEO (lower earth orbit) somewhen in 2011, it has already been shown, in an exhibition taking place from December 3rd to 17th 2010 at ESC im LABOR, Graz. Until the end of the exhibition, the satellite's functionality was more or less fixed. With an additional payload of only 200 grams, we have to focus on a certain range of possibilites.
the ProjectDescription for background information and motivation to develop mursat.
The TubeSatKit has finally arrived (see SpaceOdyssey2010 for more details).
The People Involved
The team consists of about 15 people who come from different fields; although we see all fields of knowledge overlapping, we have our specialties - rather comming from developing concepts for art and programming, hardware development, amateur radio, fm radio, sound and video, ... what we share, is our curiosity.
Get to know the PeopleInvolved - artists, tech developers, supporters.

The Actions

the exhibition: what happened during the exhibition in december 2010.
balloon testflights: how to test some basic communication between the satellite and the ground
SpaceCenter: once mursat flys into space, we are going to follow and accompany it on its travel.
