ATL-1 (Advanced Technology of Laser 1), also Magyar-OSCAR 106, MO-106 for short is a Hungarian amateur radio satellite and technology testing satellite .

The Picosatellit is based on the PocketQube platform with the form factor 2p (50 × 50 × 100 mm). On board is an ATL Industry and Trading Ltd. Developed measuring arrangement for the behavior of special insulation materials under space conditions. Like SMOG-P, ATL-1 has a spectrum analyzer for measuring human-made electromagnetic pollution (electrosmog) from space . This payload is used for spectrum monitoring to create a global map of frequency usage in the DVB-T band.

The OSCAR number administrator of AMSAT - North America has assigned the number 106 to this satellite. The satellite is therefore also called Magyar-OSCAR 106, MO-106 for short in the amateur radio community.

The satellite was launched on December 6, 2019 on an Electron launcher from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand along with ALE 2 (Astro Live Experiences 2) and five other PocketQubes.
