| The communication between mur.sat and earth will be solved via 2.4GHz radio. As the signals of mur.sat will only be available for very short time periods on one spot, we will need a dense global GroundStationNetwork of sender/reciever stations.

mur.sat - the mur.at satellite
In 2013 or later mur.at will launch its first satellite mursat1.
The main idea is to have public domain access to what we can perceive and realize in space.
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 Ground Station Network
There will be an GroundStationNetwork of people around the world that will follow mur.sat on its mission. Please consider our OpenInvitation to participate!
The Space Center
Once mursat is launched into orbit, we are going to follow and accompany it on its travel in our SpaceCenter.
Satellite Listening and Sonifications
We start with a set of sessions round SatelliteListening in June 2011.
