Austria launches military satellite for jamming oversight
Austria launched its first military satellite named "BeaconSat" in February, aimed at monitoring jamming devices on global navigation satellite systems, to enhance technological capabilities and local industries. The satellite orbits Earth and took a year and a half to develop at a cost of one million euros. It uses a small propulsion system with a thrust of 2 Newtons powered by ethanol and nitrous oxide to accurately maneuver the satellite and perform evasive maneuvers when necessary. The satellite provides tools for monitoring navigation system frequencies and analyzing signal quality to detect unexpected changes, thereby strengthening Austria’s capabilities in the military space sector.
