Space Technology Centre AGH

We would like to present the mission patch of the MXene in LEO experiment!🧑🚀🚀 The MXene in LEO experiment aims to study the behavior of MXene nanomaterial-based sensors in the unique environment of low Earth orbit (LEO). The project is a part of “IGNIS”🔥, a Polish first technological and scientific mission to the International Space Station. During the misson, Polish astronaut Slawosz Uznański-Wiśniewski will conduct a series of experiments, including ours! The patch reflects the traditions of the AGH University of Krakow and the symbolism associated with the experiment. ➡️The border features the university's name and the name of the experiment. ➡️The central element of the patch is a graphic representing the MXene sensor, accompanied by the molecular structure of a fragment of a cellulose chain. ➡️In the centre of the sensor, there is a flag 🇵🇱, symbolizing that the experiment is part of the first Polish technological and scientific mission to the ISS. ➡️On both sides of the sensor, red lines symbolize pulse measurement. ➡️At the bottom, the mission logo Axiom 4 (Ax-4), under which the experiment will be conducted, is displayed. The patch's color scheme reflects AGH's official colors: 🌳 Green symbolizes nature, fields, and forests. ⚒️ Black refers to the depths of mines and represents essential qualities for mining and metallurgical professions, such as thoughtfulness, knowledge, and reliability. 🔥Red is the color of fire and molten iron. ➡️The development of space technologies, a relatively new field at AGH, is represented by four stars featured on the patch✨ MXene in LEO Team: Tadeusz Uhl, Shreyas Srivatsa, Dagmara S., Krzysztof Grabowski, Wojciech Guziewicz, Agata Maria Kołodziejczyk, Darukesha BHM, Sławomir Rudawski.

Jak powstał najmniejszy polski satelita HYPE? Dziś przybliżamy jego historię. 🛰️ HYPE to satelita klasy PocketQube, która charakteryzuje się formą sześcianu o boku 5 cm i masą nieprzekraczającą 250 g. Zamknięcie wszystkich części HYPE’a w małej kostce było dużo większym wyzwaniem dla zespołu SatLab AGH niż budowa satelity w standardzie dopuszczającym większe gabaryty. Swój wkład w stworzenie HYPE’a miało około 40 osób, które zdobyły wiedzę oraz umiejętności z zakresu elektroniki, mechaniki, informatyki czy komunikacji kluczowe dla misji satelitarnych. Na dachu budynku Centrum Technologii Kosmicznych Space Technology Centre AGH zamontowano antenę do komunikacji z satelitą, która może zostać wykorzystana również w edukacji kosmicznej i realizacji przyszłych projektów. Jak zespół poradził sobie z budową najmniejszego polskiego satelity i jakie wyzwania musiał pokonać? Odpowiedzi znajdziecie w naszym artykule 👉 https://lnkd.in/dWY4NyxN fot. KSAF
