A big success for Croatia: We have an officially registered satellite with the UN

The first Croatian satellite, CroCube, has been officially registered with the United Nations (UN), marking a significant achievement for Croatia. The registration process was completed through an international procedure, granting Croatia legal authority and control over the satellite while it remains in space. This step also establishes Croatia’s responsibility for any potential damage caused by the satellite. The satellite was launched from California on December 21, 2024, and began transmitting images by late January 2025. Weighing just over a kilogram and shaped like a cube measuring ten centimeters on each side, CroCube aims to demonstrate Croatia’s capability to launch a satellite into space, conduct scientific measurements, and share images of space captured by a Croatian satellite. The mission also seeks to promote technological development and the space industry in Croatia. Mission leader Daniela Jović highlighted the significance of receiving images taken by a Croatian satellite from space, noting that these images included parts of Croatia, Italy, and Slovenia.

First Croatian satellite officially registered with the UN

The first Croatian satellite, named CroCube, has been officially registered with the United Nations (UN), marking a significant milestone for Croatia's space program. The registration process, completed by the CroCube team, confirms Croatia's legal ownership and control over the satellite while it is in space. This registration also ensures international legal and financial responsibility if the satellite causes damage on Earth, in airspace, or to other space objects. The satellite was launched at the end of 2024 using a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. On January 28, 2025, images captured by CroCube showed parts of Croatia, Italy, and Slovenia, demonstrating the success of the mission. The project aims to promote technological development in Croatia, increase interest in astronomy and space projects, and support STEM education and high-tech entrepreneurship. A secondary goal is to collect data from the domestically produced scientific module AstroTron 1000, which measures microelectronics degradation under extreme conditions.
