Summary of the 2nd QB50 Workshop

The Second QB50 Workshop is already finished and our team members are back at home again after two days full of interesting lectures.

This time, Professor Ramón Martinez and the students Miguel Gallego and Javier Hernando have been the Spanish representatives of an event that has got together about 120 people from 28 different countries, including several Universities from all over the world, space agencies as ESA and NASA and important companies as ISIS and Pumpkin Inc.

Following the programme, we have seen some interesting projects from other Universities and different sensors and subsystems proposed to be part of the QB50 mission. GENSO has been another important concept in these lectures and, with our daily work, we hope to be part of that Network too. As an application of this Network, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne did a real-time demonstration of receiving in Belgium data from a satellite by using antennas placed in Netherlands and Switzerland.

It has been a great opportunity to meet again with friends from other of our adventures and knowing personally new people who we hope to see again soon. Of course, we would also want to thank all the Staff members that have made this Worshop be possible and that have made us feel like if we were at home. We wish to be again in the 3^rd Workshop in January 2012 and we will work hard to get that.

As usually, we offer you some photos about this event and we invite you to visit us at Facebook or Twitter to get more information about the latest news.
