Our Mission

Sofia SAT Club aims to be a hub for specialists, scientists, enthusiasts, and industrialists in space technologies. Our primary goal is the development of space and satellite technology in Bulgaria, culminating in the launch of educational-research satellites. We provide a mentoring environment to guide young people towards science, technology, and high-level skills, offering a sustainable platform for training in various forms.

We believe in the wisdom of Socrates: "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."

Sofia SAT Club is building a national network of ground satellite stations, compatible with the international SatNOGS network. 6 stations have been installed and are operational, with another 4 in the process of being built. Some of the stations are fully autonomous, with solar batteries.

Sofia SAT Club organizes regular and remote courses for using satellite ground stations for educational, academic, and scientific institutions, public organizations, and companies.

SatNOGS (Satellite Networked Open Ground Station) is a global network of open ground stations for satellite observation, built by radio amateurs and universities. Such low-cost stations, equipped with antennas in amateur bands (VHF/UHF, L-band) and SDR receivers, provide access to telemetry, sensor data, meteorological and thermal images of multiple small satellites.
