BELGRADE (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 06th April, 2019) The University of Maribor and SAB Launch Services (SAB-LS) company signed an agreement to launch the first Slovenian nanosatellite into Earth orbit in summer this year, Slovenian news agency STA reported on Friday.
The Trisat nanosatellite weighing 4.4 kilograms (10 Pounds) was created at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in Maribor in collaboration with the Slovenian company Skylabs.
The launch of the nanosatellite will be an important step in the internationalization of the Slovenian space industry and the recognition of its technologies, the university's rector Zdravko Kacic said.
This is proof that student research can develop into an important project for the Slovenian industry and the environment, he added.
According to the plan, Trisat will be sent into orbit in August on the European Space Agency's (ESA) lightweight non-reusable launch vehicle Vega from the Kourou cosmodrome in French Guiana. It will perform multispectral and shortwave infrared imaging of the Earth. Another 50 satellites will be launched into orbit along with Trisat, including the Slovenian microsatellite Nemo HD. Slovenia became an associate member of the ESA in 2016.
