Astronomical Observatory at the 67th International Fair of Technics and Technical Achievements (20-23 May 2025)

The Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade once again presented itself at the exhibition "Play for Humanity - Science for All" held within the framework of the 67th International Fair  of Technics and Technical Achievements with three active projects. The CubeSat project MOSAIC was presented, the goals of which are to observe the Sun in X-ray radiation and observe the planet Earth from orbit. On this project, the Astronomical Observatory cooperates with the Mihajlo Pupin Institute and three faculties of the University of Belgrade: the Faculty of Mathematics, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. In addition to this project, the Astronomical Observatory also presented two PRISMA projects funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, led by the Astronomical Observatory and which started in early 2024: the Urban Observatory of Belgrade (UrbObsBel, with the participation of researchers from the Institute of Physics, the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Novi Sad, as well as the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Belgrade) and the MOBY project (Modeling Binary Systems That End in Stellar Mergers and Give Rise to Gravitational Waves, with the participation of a researcher from the Faculty of Mathematics). The work of the HSI (Hyperspectral Imaging Sensor) device, whose construction is fully completed and which will be mounted on the Tower of the Astronomical Observatory as part of the PRISMA project UrbObsBel, was demonstrated live at the Fair. During the Fair, numerous useful conversations were held with distinguished guests from the country and abroad.
