LAUSANNE, Switzerland, 28th November 2016 – Solenix GmbH and ELSE SA have entered a license agreement that will allow ELSE to rely on Solenix’s Satellite Control System, Elveti, as foundation for the ground segment of its future constellation of nanosatellites, Astrocast.

Last Friday and Saturday, more than 50 developers met at the Media Quarter Marx in Vienna for the Copernicus Data Hackathon. This event was organised by INiTS, the business incubator of the local university, and its goal was to create and prototype concepts for innovative services using Copernicus data.

Tonight Yann is speaking at the Basel stop of the Swiss Space Roadshow. In one of the three presentations of the evening, he is going to talk about his experience working with ESA and the various career paths at Solenix. A panel discussion and a networking session complete this event. It will give the 60+ registered students and young engineers the opportunity to ask questions to representatives from ESA, the Swiss government, companies and academia.

During our latest regular Solenix Workshop we had a thorough look at Spring Boot and how it can benefit us in our current and future software projects.

Spring Boot allows creating rich application launchers harnessing the full power of the Spring framework. It allows us to create self-contained applications, which bring all the necessary utensils, including web servers, database connectors, etc. in a single package and a single process. As usual with the Spring framework, Spring Boot makes using sophisticated features much easier.
