The nano satellite was developed and built by the Romanian Space Agency (ROSA).

The project was funded and supported by the Romanian Ministry of Education and the European Space Agency.

Although the initial launch was planned for 2008, the project had been postponed due to some issues with the carrier rocket, Vega.

Due to a malfunction to its stabilizing system, it was expected that the satellite would spin uncontrollably and eventually get lost in space.
