ACTIVITIES

The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) invites Romanian students to participate in the 2013 edition of the "Cassini Scientist for a Day" competition, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA).
The Cassini-Huygens mission is an international endeavour between NASA, ESA, and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). In 2004, after a journey of nearly seven years the spacecraft, comprising NASA's Cassini orbiter and ESA's Huygens probe, was the first to enter orbit around Saturn. The spacecraft is currently still in orbit around Saturn providing scientists with an abundance of information about the giant planet and its moons.

The European Space Agency (ESA), opens the opportunity for university students from the ESA Member States and Cooperating States to fly experiments high into the stratosphere or even to the edge of space.

Up to 10 teams will be selected to fly a balloon experiment during autumn 2014 or a rocket experiment in spring 2015. The experiments will be carried on sounding rockets and stratospheric balloons launched from the Esrange Space Center in Northern Sweden.

If you are a university student from Poland, Czech Republic or Romania and you would like to be on the space scene when the first Copernicus’ Sentinel-1 satellite starts monitoring the Earth next year, apply for the new ESA ‘Sentinel-1 Student Transponders’ project.
The project consists in redesigning Earth-based ESA satellite transponders to communicate with the Sentinel-1 satellite once it has started its mission in space.

Romanian Space Agency is organizing World Space Week between 4 -10 October 2010.

The United Nations General Assembly in 1999 declared October 4-10 annually as World Space Week. This declaration was recommended by the UNISPACE-III conference held in Vienna, Austria earlier that year. The main objective for this event is to help decision makers and public opinion understand the benefits of the utilization of the space science and technology for sustainable development.

Dozens of students from Romania are participating in a project of the European Space Agency in order to learn to create satellites, one for the Earth, one for the Moon. To build satellites capable of reaching space it is not enough to be good at the technical side. It takes also thr management of time and money.
