Deep space communication, navigation, and propulsion. May 12-14, 2021, at Brijuni, Republic of Croatia. The Brijuni Conferences bring an up-to-date perspective of the present state of a given topic with the fundamental scientific philosophy to stimulate a cross-disciplinary flow of knowledge and expertise from both the science and technology standpoints. The topic of the conference […]
THE FIRST CROATIAN SATELLITE
Entrence ticket for the World Space Club.
INVEST IN OUR CROWDFUNDING
Take part in the project by donating, because together we can reach the Space. We want you to look down from there on the Earth, and say “I did it!”. Any small amount is welcome and it will help make that vision come true. We have highly skilled engineers and very enthusiastic young people working on this project, and we rely on little investments in acquiring technology that we still have to master. We call it science/technology and investment synergy.
THE CROATIAN SATELLITE
To reach that Space view we will need a camera, source of energy, remote communication, and very importantly control of camera orientation. Everything that looks simple, never truly is. This will be a true test of Croatian knowhow in high tech for the Space environment. And it will be a test of the commitment, and motivation of young people to learn about what lies ahead (and above) in their lives. This project will make us a member of the World Space Club.
NEWS
More and more countries are having their satellites launched – by students. To get familiar with this worldwide trend, A3 associate Yi Li, Ph.D. traveled all his way from China. The aim was to introduce students of Algebra University with the Chinese School of Astronautics, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and numerous projects (similar to our heroic […]
In August, we received two development boards for the satellite computer on which we will develop the operating system before it is installed on the flight computer model. The boards consist of a module with a processor and memory similar to those in industrial controllers and a module with input/output components. We’re currently developing one […]
LET'S LAUNCH IT TOGETHER
The first A3space project is constructing, assembling, and launching Croatian CubeSat 2U satellite with a camera as the main payload. It was named after Perun, the god of thunder and lightning (the thunderbolt), the supreme deity in the pantheon of Slavic Gods, according to Slavic mythology. Like the Slavic God Perun, we want to shake and light the knowledge of space in Croatia.
The PERUN project will be realized by a large number of young engineers and scientists. They will be led by experienced staff at universities and scientific institutions through project reviews and advice. Such engineers and scientists will not only learn the theory of space engineering but will get a wealth of hands-on experience. Students who gain knowledge in aerospace often use it in other high technologies – biomedicine, mechanical engineering, software engineering, etc.

EXPERTS WHO SUPPORT THE PROJECT
Aerospace Engineering is a complex field and CubeSat is perfect tool to teach students about subsystems of a satellite and how they interact with each other. There is hardly any better way to comprehensively teach about space and space systems.
Carsten Scharlemann
dr., Head of Aerospace Engineering, FH Wiener Neustadt
Exciting undertakings start with a first step. Congratulations for taking up an ambitious Cubesat satellite project - Perun I! This will be an important contribution to space science and technology! Good luck with it!

Dreams are a powerful force that fosters creativity, and the stars inspire them the most. Reaching the stars has many challenges with many steps and our first is the project Perun-I.
Slobodan Danko Bosanac
Prof. Dr. Sc, President of A3
We live in very exciting times for the space business. A contemporary challenge is to evolve our thinking of what space could be, and make it a thriving sector of the global economy.
Alessandro Golkar
prof., Technology Development Director, Skoltech, Moscow
Let us be a lift to new ideas, let us explore ways to create. I strongly believe that project Perun-I nano-satellite is the spark for a new generation of Croatian space exploration scientists.
Ana B. Heller
PhD Astrophysics and Nano-satellites expert
The Perun mission is an aspirating project, led by space enthusiasts, and a diligent students' community. This is a first stepping stone, in the journey of Croatian space endeavor.

A CubeSat will provide remote sensing imagery which opens a wide range of applications. The Perun project will be a source of inspiration for many young researchers and engineers in Croatia.
Bertram Arbesser-Rastburg
Senior Advisor at SpaceTec Partners SPRL
This project will inspire the youngest to love science and technology acquiring new knowledge with passion reflecting on their place and their role in a world full of technological challenges.
Ante Radonić
Professor and co-writer of a Andromeda
Launching a CubeSat is a great and relatively economical way for the space community to gain hands-on experience and for young scientists and engineers to get inspired and develop mission initiatives.
Petr Bareš
President, Czech Space Alliance
Building upon the Austrian experiences in the financing, designing, building, and operating nanosatellites I welcome the first Croatian satellite as a lighthouse project for entering space activities.
Andreas Geisler
Mag. Dr. and Head of Aeronautics and Space Agency, Austria
The Perun - I project is the first step towards the active creation of a foundation for the development of the space industry in Croatia.
