This lecture covers some very inetersting thoughts and experienced overview of ever interesting space technology challenges and corresponding practical aspects in solving it, presented by two distuinguished and experienced scientists, prof. Slobodan Danko Bosanac from Adriatic Aerospace Association (A3) and its colleague Zdenko Uvalić from Airbus.

The lecture is divided into two part where first talk will be devoted to space technology challenges with practiacal examples in efforts to make and launch first Croatian satellite Perun 1, and the second, experience-rich talk from mr. Uvalić on spacecrafts managing in general, i.e. spacecraft accommodation challenges with overview on the functional subsystems, environmental loading on spacecraft during flight and in orbit and qualification and verification philosophy of space components and systems. The concludal part of lecture will give an overview of cubesat Perun 1p – first Croatian satellite.

Željko Ivezić, member of A3 Managing Board, has been appointed director of the construction of a very demanding and important Rubin Observatory project, starting on 3 January 2022.

The Rubin Observatory will play an important role in answering some important questions about understanding the structure of the universe, its beginnings, details of our planetary system and our domicile galaxy, Milky Way. The technological challenges surrounding the construction and operation of the Observatory are described in more detail in the Rubin Observatory .

We wish our member of A3 Board of Directors a lot of success in this challenge and once the Rubin Observatory starts working, we believe that our members will be able to get involved in the analysis of a huge amount of data.

Shimon Sarid graduated from Technion University in Haifa with a bachelor’s degree in Space and Aeronautics Engineering, and earned his masters through a joint degree program offered by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Boston University, focusing on science management.

“SpaceIL continues its educational activities meant to advance the next generation of Israeli scientists and engineers,” SpaceIL co-founder Kfir Damari said.

“Together with Shimon and under his leadership, we are confident that we can advance an additional space project and inspire more youths to learn – and study space and, most importantly, to work toward realizing their dreams”.

On April 30, 2021. The Adriatic Aerospace Association Strategic Cooperation Agreement was signed with the Sisak Center for Space and Innovative Technology. The contract was signed by representatives of two organizations, in front of the Center, Acting director Stevče Arsoski, and in front of A3, president Slobodan Danko Bosanac.

The agreement was signed in order to achieve strategic and business cooperation in the field of space technology development in the Republic of Croatia. The agreement defines the rights and obligations of the two organizations in the implementation of the strategic project of the Center “Sisak-Moslavina County – the Seat of Space and Innovative Technology” and the business project of the Association “Perun I. – Launch of the first Croatian satellite”. Also, a contract was signed with a colleague and team member of Perun I, Jurica Kundrata on employment at the Center as an associate member.
