The Launch of the Vega rocket with the student satellite Hämarik (Twilight) from French Guiana has been postponed because of high winds at high altitudes. The earliest launch opportunity is August, 17th.

Hämarik is the second of two student satellites that the TalTech - Tallinn University of Technology, in cooperation with DATEL, will launch into orbit. The Koit (Dawn) satellite launched on July 5 last year with a rocket from Russia.

As a result of the public procurement, HITSA- Estonian Information Technology Foundation of Education, signed framework agreements with 5 companies including Datel.
For almost 30 years, Datel has furnished classrooms and meeting rooms all over Estonia with presentation tools and computer equipment. This time we are upgrading the local area cabling of more than 160 schools.

The project will run until the end of 2022.

Last week we formed a team across Europe for the EUvsVirus hackathon, our international team developed two products based on InSAR processing.

The European Commission, led by the European Innovation Council and in close collaboration with the EU member states,   hosted this pan-European EUvsVirus hackathon to connect civil society, innovators, partners and investors across Europe in order to develop innovative solutions for coronavirus-related challenges. 

On 22 March 2020  a 5.3  magnitude earthquake hit Zagreb, Croatia, with an epicenter 2 kilometres southwest of Kašina and 7 kilometres north of Zagreb city centre. Datel offered Croatia assistance in identifying post-earthquake damage and risk assessment.

Infrastructure monitoring servise based on satellite data, Sille analyze ,enables to detect building and infrastructure deformation using remote sensing satellites to find damaged and hazardous objects, that could be dangerous. Before the earthquake the system can detect building and infrastructures that are structurally deficient, thus have a great probability to collapse or fracture. After the earthquake, the system can detect buildings and infrastructure that was damaged the most, and the rescue crew can focus their attention first to the most damaged objects, saving time and money.

In partnership with Newline Interactive, we have delivered the easiest touchscreens on the market to many educational institutions in Estonia.

The most important aspect of any great product is how easy it is for anyone to use. Newline Interactive is dedicated to providing solutions that save time and help to be more successful, by creating state-of-the-art products that are so simple to use that everyone can interact and enjoy the innovation behind them.

The system saves the working time of specialists of the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund, and thus significantly speeds up the granting and payment of benefits. Also, a smarter system, according to the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund, helps to reduce the risk of some important benefits being delayed due to incorrectly entered data.

Scientific research spacecraft Solar Orbiter has launched on its journey to study the Sun on February 9.  The Solar Orbiter will address big questions in Solar System science to help scientists understand how our star creates and controls the giant bubble of plasma that surrounds the whole Solar System and influences the planets within it. It is an ESA mission with strong NASA participation.

Our engineers are helping to select suitable technologies for storing and archiving data collected by Solar Orbiter. Understanding in detail how the Sun works is the key to understanding both how it generates its life-giving energy and also how to protect our technology and way of life.

Our employees are participating in a free online course called Elements of AI that opens doors to the exciting world of artificial intelligence. The course was developed in 2018 by the University of Helsinki and Reaktor OY by university professors, data scientists and designers with the purpose to help better understand artificial intelligence and its social role. As it happens, “The Elements of AI” is already the most popular computer science course in the world, according to Class Central, a free online course aggregator, and surpasses the online courses of educational superstars such as Stanford, Harvard and MIT.
