CroCube
CroCube is a pioneering project aimed at assembling and launching Croatia’s first nanosatellite. This 1U satellite is equipped with a camera and a first Croatian hardware to fly to space – a nanosatellite module called Astrotron 1000.
Primary goal of the mission is to capture images of the Earth and create the first image of Croatia from space on a proprietary spacecraft. CroCube represents a significant leap for Croatia into the space era, aiming to spur technological development and innovation within the country.
