Signing of Cooperation Agreement between Lithuania and European Space Agency, October 2010

Lithuania became the third Baltic country to sign a the framework of this cooperation Lithuanian scientists Cooperation Agreement with European Space Agency and businessmen will get acquainting with standardization (ESA). and certification requirements imposed by ESA on space Peter Hulsroj, ESA’s Director of Legal Affairs and External technologies, products and services. They will also receive Relations, and Dainius Kreivys, Lithuanian Minister of advises and have access to other relevant and necessary Economy, signed this outstanding document on October information. the 7th 2010 in Vilnius. The Agreement will guarantee The signature of the Cooperation Agreement took place scientific, technical and organizational assistance from at the opening session of the 1st International Conference the ESA professionals with no financial obligations. Within on “Space Economy in the Multipolar World” SEMW 2010

6 organized by Lithuanian Space Association (LSA). This conference was a milestone event for the forthcoming Lithuanian space activities that brought together members of Government, industry officials and space policy experts in order to discuss policy, economic and technology trends in this field. The attention was paid to innovative and cost www.space-lt.eu effective approaches, including microsatellite development and use in the Baltic region. SEMW 2010 was the kick-off event for the implementation of the first Lithuanian space research programme. LSA envisages to organize more such international events in the nearest future.

October 2010 Lithuanian Space Association (LSA) was appointed as a regional coordinator for nano/micro-scale satellite contest Nano-satellite Constellation Mission Idea, organized by AXELSPACE Company, Japan. LSA organized a wide range of regional events and seminars to form an interest group for creating ideas for this exciting event. This is an excellent chance for scientists and youth to participate in development of the artificial Earth satellites. Most of the participants were representatives from local universities such as: Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU), Aviation Institute of VGTU, Kaunas University of Awards of Lithuanian Regional winner Tobe GPS at European Technology, Vilnius University, Ministry of Economy, Military Satellite Navigation Competition 2010, Munich, Germany Academy of Lithuania, Lithuanian University of Agriculture, Kaunas Technical College, KTU Gymnasium. LSA is preparing further training seminars in Vilnius and Kaunas for better understanding the requirements and technical side of the project.

October 2010 Lithuania participated for the first time at the “European Satellite Navigation Competition 2010” in Munich (Germany). Regional co-ordination was provided by the Lithuanian Space Association and supported by the Ministry of Economy of Lithuania. The regional winner selected was UAB “Tobe GPS” with the idea of the GPS belt. Mr Zydrunas Andruska, CEO of UAB „TOBE GPS“ says that preventing of kidnapping, potentially saves hundreds of millions of dollars each year and accelerates the growth of these countries. TOBE GPS develops ways to make GPS technology easier to use in everyday life.

November 2010 LSA founded the non-governmental Space 1st Lithuanian Nanosatellite Developer’s Workshop, November 2010 Science and Technology Institute (SSTI) . SSTI is involved in development and integration of small satellite components. One of the first running projects is a nanosatellite consisting of two main parts – the service module and the research unit – reentry capsule.

The project is targeted to boost the development of a new high tech based research capacities and industry in Baltic area. All new technologies implemented in this satellite require a wide range of research and development activities, this is why collaboration between the European Universities and research institutes is essential. Other benefits expected from this mission are the popularization of the high technologies and space exploration.

Space Science and Technology Institute (SSTI) in Lithuania is a brand new private research organization established by the Lithuanian Space Association in 2010 and intended for space related scientific researches, technology development and its transfer to the business organizations. Institute has close relationships with most of the Lithuanian universities like Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Vilnius University and some space related business companies which makes it highly suitable for technology development and transfer for further commercial use. Experience accumulated in the organization is mostly influenced by personalities working there, in case of SSTI the experience in spacecraft engineering, electronics, communication, aerodynamics etc. could be named. Some of the people working in institute and most of the members of its council have participated in ESA, NATO and FP5, FP6, FP7 European projects or are European projects experts in fields of space, aeronautics and transportation. Institute has also good relationships with several European Universities and organizations performing the space related activities. Scientific and knowledge transfer visits are often organized to these universities. Several of such universities are: TU Delft in Netherlands, Aalborg University in Denmark, University of Applied Sciences of Aachen and TU Berlin in Germany, ETH Zurich in Switzerland etc. Since the institute have good relationships with the Universities of Lithuania students of all levels (bachelor, master and doctoral) are (and are planned to be) widely involved in the scientific research work of Institute. This could give a great impulse in preparing the high level scientist Lithuanian 2U Cubesat and specialist in space and high-tech related fields. Such specialists are of extremely high importance first locally in Lithuania and entire Europe interested in space research lead to the rise and expansion of high-tech companies and programs. rise of the brand new space related industry in Lithuania.
