Robusta-3A Celebrates 2 Years in Orbit! 🎂

Posted on in Non classé

July 9, 2026 marks two years in orbit for Robusta-3A, the first #3U nanosatellite developed by our teams and launched on Ariane 6’s maiden flight.

Two years of technical challenges, skill development, learning, and passion for our teams of #engineers who operate the platform tirelessly. Robusta-3A is still fully operational!

We thank the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Space for granting us authorization to extend the mission by 5 months.

A big congratulations to everyone who looks after this platform. Your commitment brings this space adventure to life.
