Last weeek we have been visiting the Zoltán Bay Institute for Material Sciences and Technology, aka BAY-ATI (which is a Hungarian acronym, actually, from Anyagtudományi és Technológiai Intézet, the original name of the Institute.)

We wanted to learn of the laser cut technology capabiliites of the Institute, which we could use right now in two cases - to build the suncells for and to make the frame and the legs less heavy of our prototype Iteration 2 rover. It was a good visit - stay tuned to see results to be shown soon!

Btw, the Institute is named after the man, who was one of the first "Moonbouncers". You can read more about his Moon radar experiment in 1946 here.
