Slovenia’s First Nano-Satellite Trisat Ends Mission Early

Slovenia's first nano-satellite, Trisat, developed by experts at the Maribor Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and SkyLabs, has concluded its mission earlier than expected, according to the University of Maribor

The satellite, launched into space on 3 September 2020 via the VEGA rocket, was originally set to remain operational until 2025. 

However, due to the satellite’s low orbit, various factors such as Earth’s thin atmosphere caused it to burn up over Africa on 29 September 2024, shortening its mission by a year. 

Despite the early end, Trisat has made significant contributions to science, particularly in the field of electronic and information systems.
