Experimental satellite laboratory but education and research

Since early nineties we are involved into program of international organization AMSAT. We have participated on several satellite projects as well as these satellites control and telemetry gathering. For this purposes we built up an automatic tracking system with high gain antennas and radio electronics for advanced spacecraft application. A number of graduate and postgraduate student projects became hardware and software application for this station. It has also been a good opportunity for students to meet spacecraft technology. Several of our activities in this field are described in this paper.
