Brik-II (satellite)

Brik-II is a nanosatellite developed by students at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in Hungary. It's part of the PocketQube standard, a class of miniaturized satellites smaller and lighter than CubeSats. Brik-II was designed primarily as an educational project, providing students with hands-on experience in satellite design, construction, testing, and operation.

The satellite's mission focused on technology demonstration and experimentation in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its payload typically included sensors and communication systems used for testing various components in the space environment. Specific objectives included testing the on-board computer, communication systems, and power systems. Data collected was transmitted back to a ground station at BME.

Brik-II was deployed via a launch provider that specializes in small satellite launches. Tracking its telemetry after deployment allowed the student team to evaluate its performance and compare it to pre-launch simulations. The project served as a valuable platform for training future engineers and scientists in the field of space technology.
