MASAt-1 (from the words Magyar and Satellite, the first meaning Hungarian in Hungarian) is the first indigenous Hungarian satellite, developed and built by students at the Technical University of Budapest. The satellite provides telemetric data as well as VGA resolution color images at the 70 cm amateur radio wavelength (437.345 MHz frequency) received at the tracking center at Budapest. The center was tested on 31 March, 2009 with the help of Charles Simonyi on board the International Space Station.
