The ATL-1 and SMOG-P satellites were put into orbit on an Electron rocket of U.S.-based Rocket Lab on December 6. They are now traveling around the Earth at a speed of 7.2 km per second in an elliptical orbit at a height of 350 km-400 km.
The SMOG-P satellite is gauging levels of artificial electromagnetic smog in the upper atmosphere. The ATL-1 satellite is testing the quality of a special insulator designed for use in space. The ATL-1 satellite was developed by ATL Kft. in cooperation with H-ION Kft. The ATL-1 was supported by European Union and state funding.
The satellites will maintain their orbits for at least five months.
