TelCUBE at SATELEC 2012

Once again, TelCUBE has taken part in the recent edition of SATELEC, the Employement and Techonology Forum that is held every year at ETSIT-UPM.

In this conference, Prof. Ramón Martínez and Javier Hernando have presented some concepts and ideas about cubesats and have summarized the main activities that TelCUBE has been developing in the last year, as the participation in the Mission Idea Contest, the QB50 project or the GENSO ground station that is currently being built at ETSIT-UPM.

SATELEC, that this year organizes the 38th edition of this forum has the goal of bringing together business and educational communities. In this context, students could know the different opportunities they have to work in the space industry and how an university project based on cubesats as TelCUBE can help them to reach the goal of working in this industry.

As part of this conference, a Regional Seminar of the Nano-Satellite Mission Idea Contest has also been held, to explain the students how they can take part in the second edition of the contest. With the presence of the regional coordinators Ramón Martínez and Hector Bedón, Prof. Martínez has explained the main criteria of the contest and shared with the attendants the experiences of the first edition, where our members Miguel Gallego and Javier Hernando became semifinalists with their proposal Fire Alarm Constellation.
