Prof. Yi Li, from the Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), the executive deputy of Suzhou Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (SUSAA), PR China visited A3 from 4 to 9 September 2023 as part of the cooperation between NPU/SUSAA and A3. Prof. Li is an expert of space science and Suzhou (Suzhou – Wikipedia) is investing heavily in the aerospace industry, so as part of the visit, in addition to the presentation of A3 activities, a visit to Croatian companies and scientific institutions, it was agreed on cooperation in joint projects that would be an upgrade to existing activities that include the exchange of experts. The immediate upcoming activity is the joint organisation of the Brijuna Conference 2025 in China, Suzhou, one of the most important cultural, science and technology centre of China. It is intended that the conferences will be held alternately between Brijuni and Suzhou. The theme of the conference is closely related to the challenges of travelling to distant space.
The first visit was to the Ruđer Bošković Institute.
Prof. Mile Ivanda, head of the Laboratory of Molecular Physics and Synthesis of New Materials, presented his scientific work at the Institute. Prof. Ivanda showed the laboratories and instruments with which he researches new materials for energy storage, develops ultra-sensitive sensors, uses Raman spectroscopy to analyze the composition of materials down to extremely low impurity densities.
In the company FACC Solutions Croatia d.o.o., part of the AVIC Group, Mr. Edvin Brčić (COO) and Mr. Matija Ferić (CFO) gave a description of the activities that include the production of components for the interior of aircraft, servicing all the most important airlines. Plans include expansion of production, product range, as well as connection with other sectors of the AVIC group.
The company HSTec, part of the Chiron Group, is high technology firm and its production line was presented by Mr. Mladen Šarlija, Managing director CEO, and Mr. Tomislav Marfat, Technical Director COO. The fundamental backbone of the company’s work is the product development from design to delivery to the customer. The company specialises in the production of spindles for extreme conditions and top requirements, as well as the production of top performance robotic systems.
A meeting with Mr. Marijan Topčić, technical director, and Mr. Danko Kočiš, ICT director and general secretary of A3, at the Multinorm d.o.o., was held via the Internet connection. The firm is a top technological company for the production of tools, but also participates in the production of satellite components in the A3 project. The company Multinorm is a member of the Strama consortium, which has branches in the People’s Republic of China, and there is the possibility of involvement in cooperation projects. Hydrogen is considered one of the most important elements for space activities and its extraction is of great importance on site. At the meeting with Mr. Ivica Jakić, president of H2-Hydrogen Cell Croatia, various extraction methods of this important element were discussed. The possibility of obtaining a scholarship for the study of astronautics at NWPU was discussed at a meeting with Mr. Bogomir Hren, the president of the Croatian Astronautical and Rocket Association, open to young people who are willing to opt for that calling. A special topic that would be important for the Republic of Croatia is to attract the Chinese aviation company to open a plant for the production of parts for their aircraft. At the meeting with Mr. Igor Kekez, a good expert on the state of the aviation sector in the Republic of Croatia, various possibilities for realising this project were discussed. Prof. Jakov Baleta, from the Faculty of Metallurgy in Sisak, University of Zagreb, also attended the meeting, who shared his experiences in scientific cooperation with partners in the People’s Republic of China.

Prof. Yi Li, s Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), izvršni zamjenik Suzhou Društva aeronautike i astronautike (SUSAA), NR Kina, posjetio je A3 od 4. do 9. rujna 2023. u sklopu suradnje između NPU/SUSAA i A3. Prof. Li je stručnjak za svemirsku znanost, a Suzhou (Suzhou – Wikipedia) puno ulaže u aero-svemirsku industriju, pa je u sklopu posjeta, uz predstavljanje aktivnosti A3, posjet hrvatskim tvrtkama i znanstvenim institucijama, dogovorena je suradnja na zajedničkim projektima koji bi bili nadogradnja na postojeće aktivnosti koje uključuju razmjenu stručnjaka. Neposredno nadolazeća aktivnost je zajednička organizacija Brijunske konferencije 2025. u Kini, Suzhou, jednom od najvažnijih kulturnih, znanstvenih i tehnoloških središta Kine. Predviđeno je da se konferencije održavaju naizmjenično između Brijuna i Suzhoua. Tema konferencije usko je povezana s izazovima putovanja u daleki svemir.
Prva je posjeta bila Institutu Ruđer Bošković.
Prof. dr. sc. Mile Ivanda, voditelj Laboratorija za molekularnu fiziku i sintezu novih materijala, predstavio je svoj znanstveni rad na Institutu. Prof. Ivanda pokazao je laboratorije i instrumente s kojima istražuje nove materijale za pohranu energije, razvija ultraosjetljive senzore, koristi Ramanovu spektroskopiju za analizu sastava materijala do iznimno niske gustoće nečistoća.
U firmi FACC Solutions Croatia d.o.o., dio AVIC Group, g. Edvin Brčić (COO) i g. Matija Ferić (CFO) dali se detaljni prikaz aktivnosti koje uključuju izradu komponenti za unutrašnjost zrakoplova, servisiraju sve najvažnije zrakoplovne kompanije. Planovi uključuju širenje proizvodnje, asortimana ali i povezivanje s ostalim sektorima AVIC grupe.
Firma HSTec, dio Chiron Group, je visoko tehnološka i predstavili su je g. Mladen Šarlija, generalni direktor CEO, i g. Tomislav Marfat, tehnički direktor COO. Temeljna okosnica rada firme je razvoj proizvoda od projektiranja do radne izvedbe. Firma je specijalizirana u izradu vretena za ekstremne uvjete i vrhunske zahtjeve, kao i izradu robotskih sustava vrhunskih performansi.
Putem Internet veze upriličen je sastanak s g .Marijan Topčićem, tehnički direktor, i g. Danko Kočišem, ICT direktor i glavni tajnik A3, firme Multinorm d.o.o. koja je vrhunska tehnološka firma za izradu alata ali i učestvuje u izradi satelitskih komponenti u projektu A3. Firma Multinorm je član konzorcija Strama koja ima svoje podružnice u NR Kini i postoji mogućnost uključivanja na projektima suradnje. Vodik se smatra jednim od najvažnijih elemenata za svemirske aktivnosti i njegova je ekstrakcija od velike važnosti na licu mjesta. Na sastanku s g. Ivicom Jakićem, predsjednikom H2-Hydrogen Cell Croatia, diskutirane su razne metode ekstrakcije tog važnog elementa. O mogućnostima dobivanja stipendije za studij astronautike na NWPU razgovaralo se na sastanku s g. Bogomirom Hrenom, predsjednikom Hrvatskog astronautičkog i raketnog saveza, otvorenog za mlade ljude koji su voljni opredijeliti se za taj poziv. Posebna tema koja bi bila od značaja za Republiku Hrvatsku je privući kineske zrakoplovne kompanije da otvore pogon izrade dijelova za njihove zrakoplove. Na sastanku s g. Igorom Kekezom, dobrog poznavatelja stanja zrakoplovnog sektora u R Hrvatskoj, diskutirane su razne mogućnosti ostvarivanja tog projekta. Sastanku je prisustvovao i prof. dr. sc. Jakov Baleta sa Metalurškog fakulteta u Sisku Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, koji je podijelio svoja iskustva u znanstvenoj suradnji s partnerima u NR Kini.
