First Romanian Microsatellite To Be Launched By ESA On February 9

This launch will be the new VEGA rocket’s first flight. Alongside GOLIAT, the rocket will carry seven other satellites.

GOLIAT is a 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm cube and weighs 1 kg. It was designed and built by the Romanian Space Agency in collaboration with the Institute for Space Science, between 2005 and 2007.

Romania became a member of the European Space Agency last year.
