SMOG-P and ATL-1 Designated Magyar-OSCAR 105 (MO-105) and Magyar-
OSCAR 106 (MO-106)

On December 6, 2019, the Technical University of Budapest SMOG-P and
ATL-1 PocketQubes were launched on an Electron launch vehicle from the
Mahia Launch Complex in New Zealand. SMOG-P and ATL-1 were developed
as part of the university curriculum and operated in cooperation with
the HA5MRC Technical University amateur radio club. The satellites
carry spectrum monitoring payloads and are currently active.

At the request of the Technical University of Budapest, AMSAT hereby
designates SMOG-P as Magyar-OSCAR 105 (MO-105), and ATL-1 as Magyar-
OSCAR 106 (MO-106). We congratulate the owners and operators, thank
them for their contribution to the amateur satellite community, and
wish them a long mission and continued success on this and future
projects.
