The February 2026 recipient for the Great Scott Gadgets Free Stuff Program is David Wagner on behalf of the TU Wien Space Team, a collective of 100 students in Austria at the Vienna University of Technology. SpaceTeamSat1 (STS1) is the current CubeSat mission, which aims to develop a 1U CubeSat for educational purposes and operate it in orbit. In addition, a dedicated ground station is operated for communication with the CubeSat. Students in Austria will have the opportunity to run self-developed software on the satellite’s education payload. The payload of the CubeSat “STS1” consists of a Raspberry Pi to which various sensors and cameras are connected. With access to the sensors and cameras, students can take measurements, images and videos. Once the code has been successfully validated on the ground, it is transmitted via RF communication to the CubeSat “STS1”, which executes the code and transmits the results of the experiments back to the ground station. From there, the (processed) data is handed over to the students. The data can then be analyzed, interpreted and presented in the final step. Through this project, student teams get to know the entire process of space data communication. A Mission Control Center will be set up at the TU Wien Space Team HQ, which will then display the current status data of, position of, and more information about the CubeSat. We have contributed a HackRF One to the team’s efforts as we were impressed by their progress so far and their dedication to achieving their goals by means of open source software and hardware.
