DomovinaIndependentCenter4 hr. ago

A satellite developed by the University of Maribor and the Slovenian high-tech company SkyLabs has successfully reached low Earth orbit. Named TRISAT-S, it is the fourth Slovenian satellite and the third in the TRISAT family. Its main purpose is to test technologies that could be used in more complex space missions, including energy-efficient management and visual autonomous navigation using six cameras. The launch marks a significant milestone for Slovenia, demonstrating the potential of combining university research with domestic industry. The project faced several delays over five years due to technical challenges and issues at the launch site, but finally succeeded on September 5th from Norway’s Andøya launch facility.

Slovenia has launched its fourth satellite, Trisat-S, into low Earth orbit from Norway on 5 September. This launch was part of a mission that also included five other CubeSat-class satellites from various European countries and marked the first successful orbital mission by the European commercial space company Isar Aerospace. The Trisat-S satellite is designed to test technologies for future deep-space exploration, including energy hibernation systems, miniature cameras, and autonomous operations. Developed through a collaboration between the University of Maribor and the aerospace company SkyLabs, the satellite will operate for five years as a technological demonstrator. Previous Slovenian satellites include Trisat, Nemo HD, and Trisat-R, with some still in orbit while others have deorbited.
