Our student driven Megaproject - AAUSAT - goes back to 2001.

//By the way this homepage is also build and maintained by AAUSAT students :-)//

The very beginning was 100% intiated by students at Dep of Electronic Systems(ES), Aalborg University. At the department significant subsystems of [[https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98rsted-satellitten | Ørsted]](launched 1999) the first 100% danish science satellite was designed and constructed.

The ES students found these activities very interesting so around 2000 the kindly requested if ES could find interest in running a Eletronic/Space Engineer education. 

The students proposed or //demanded// that a  educational track in space should be.
