One year ago, the Würzburg University satellite SONATE-2 was launched into orbit. It has now achieved all its mission objectives. What's next for the satellite.

Researchers and students from the University of Würzburg are tracking asteroids with a telescope on the Hubland Campus. The measurements are very welcome in the USA.

Our satellite, SONATE-2, has captured a striking image of the ongoing wildfires in the greater Los Angeles area. Visible plumes of smoke drift westward over the Pacific Ocean, illustrating the scale of the situation.

A contribution from the NEAlight project was submitted to this year's German Aerospace Congress (DLRK) and has now been officially published on the DGLR publication platform.

In the initial phase of the VaMEx3-MarsSymphony project, the team has made progress through the definition and detailed formulation of scenarios for Mars and test environments. Having successfully passed the Mission Definition Assessment, the team is now ready to further define the requirements for each element of the mission.

Last week we successfully updated the software of all four sensor heads making up the MultiView star sensor on SONATE-2 in orbit! This update improves the quality of the attitude data produced by the sensors.
