Events
FOSS4G-CEE & Geoinformatics 2012 conference will start on 20th of May in Prague, Czech Republic.
ASRC will participate to the “First International Conference on Moldavian Risks - from Global to Local Scale” between 16th and 19th of May, 2012.
During the training session of the Geospace project at the beginning of February 2012, the ASRC experts introduced to the participants the 4.0 version of the LEOWorks, as one of the interactive teaching instruments for Geography and Geomatics promoted by the project.
Eduspace launched the Interactive Meteosat application that started in 2009 as a project conducted by ASRC.
Romanian CubeSat Goliat
Seven teams of university students were selected to fly their CubeSats on the maiden flight of ESA's Vega launch vehicle. Romania will participate in this mission with Goliat, a standard cubesat of 100 x 100 x 100 mm3.
The objective to develop a microsatellite mission was included in the national space programme. The Romanian Space Agency and the Romanian Institute of Space Science provided the team with institutional, technological and financial support through a national grant.
Goliat aims to increase knowledge about the radiation and micrometeoroid environments in low Earth orbit, by using SAMIS, an impact sensor (will count micrometeoroid impact events and measure their energy in order to estimate their number and speed) and DOSE-N, a detector designed to measure the total dose of radiation inside the satellite. The 3 megapixel digital camera CICLOP will test the possibility of using picosatellites to monitor surface features for agricultural, administrative and disaster monitoring purposes, as well as for public outreach.
Goliat also integrates sub-systems for basic functioning, such as: board computer, power unit, radio communication system, system for altitude determination and control.
The team also developed the ground infrastructure required for radio communication and for operating the satellite located in Magurele, Ilfov and Marisel, Cluj.
