Slovak Organisation for Space Activities

[2] The organization supports Slovak activities with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Southern Observatory (ESO), developed skCUBE, the first Slovak satellite, and organizes events to promote space-related research and industry.

It organises space-themed educational projects and competitions, and enabled students to work on the development of its first probe skCube.

Its goal was to develop a re-usable probe that could be flown to near space, an altitude of 35–40 km, with a payload of technical experiments.

skCube is SOSA's project to design, construct, launch, operate and analyze data from CubeSat 1U.

Slovak specialists participated in the development of Magion class satellites in the 1970s and space probes have components built in Slovakia.
