Posted date: 01 Apr 2021
In January 2021, the second satellite constructed in Slovakia, GRBAlpha, started its journey, the goal of which is the Earth's orbit. Its first stage was the air transfer to Moscow where it was picked up by the company GK Launch Services, which provides the launch of the satellite into space.
"The successful implementation of the GRBAlpha satellite project is another confirmation of the long tradition and potential of our faculty in the field of aeronautics and space technologies. I am proud that we were able to contribute in this way to the development and promotion of space technologies in the Slovak Republic. The successful implementation of this project has created real opportunities for our students to participate in scientific research using modern technologies from the aviation and space sector, and at the same time to promote the prospectivity of our new study program Aerospace Technology in the best possible way." said Stanislav Szabo, Dean of the Faculty of Aeronautics TUKE.
