The first day of the Congress, we put together our booth and greeted the first visitors. In contrast to the experience of previous years, the attendance was noticeably smaller, but we hope that the interest in the exhibition will increase during the Congress. In our showcase, this year with the largest number of exhibits, there are product samples from nine of Czech organizations like private companies, Academia and universities.
CSO has released the fifth edition of a comprehensive english bochure on space activities in the Czech Republic, which is annually distributed to the visitors at the International Astronautical Congress, IAC and during other occasions with a foreign audience.
Cílem projektu bylo identifikovat nedostatky malých družic typu CubeSat, jejichž spolehlivost a využitelnost pro reálné vědecké experimenty byla omezená, a navrhnout vhodnější řešení.
Students participated in the European contest called ESA CanSat Competition. Teams of high schools students are to develop and manufacture minisatellites, called CanSats, with dimensions of a soft drink can with a volume of 330 ml. The final round of the contest is held annually at Andøya Rocket Range in Norway.
In the project the prototype of the GTR51 device for comparison of time scales was developed. The device uses sinals of satellite navigation systems GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and SBAS.
Explore. Get to know. Change the world. These are the words, connecting all the high school participants of scientific and engineering competitions. Each year, millions of them in more than seven dozen countries around the world gets involved. A nineteen year old Marek Novák was one of them.
The digital slit sun sensor (DSSS) measures the position of the Sun with respect to its axes. It overcomes the disadvantages of the sun sensors used in the past, e.g. on Magion satellites, that were analogue cosine law sensors.This sensor mainly consists from COTS and industrial components and is therefore relatively cheap.
The project Neutron facilities focused on the evaluation of existing neutron sources in the Czech Republic with respect to preparation of the equipment for testing and calibration of neutron sensitive detectors of ESA. The main goal was to provide a comprehensive measurement, test and calibration of neutron sensitive devices intended for space research.
Cosmic ray consists of many types of radiations and particles, the example is gamma-ray, which consists of energetic photons. The task of this project was to develop ESA’s reference station, on which would be possible to measure and calibrate the equipment prepared for spacecraft used for gamma-ray detection.
Medipix detectors are used as a tool for the measurement and characterization of complex radiation fields, including the field of fast and thermal neutrons. Neutron detectors are an important tool in the search for hydrogenous materials, especially water, in the planetary remote sensing.
