The Center for Telematics (commonly known as ZFT by its acronym in German) is a German research institute located in the City of Würzburg in northern Bavaria; although its main research topic is on robotics and telematics, it is also among the leading institutes in Bavaria designing and building small satellites (cubesats) focusing in formation flying. In 2018, a German-Israeli research team led by the Center for Telematics received a research prize from the European Research Council to build ten micro-satellites for exploring the clouds and improve global climate models.[1] The Center for Telematics has also collaborated closely with the University of Würzburg on the development of the OBC (On-Board Computer), as well as the attitude determination sensor suite and control system of the UWE-3 [2] and UWE-4 CubeSat, the latter launched on 27 December 2018 as a secondary payload on a Soyuz-2.[3][4]
