From an idea to orbit
Built by students.
Sent into orbit.
We started ROMSPACE to build our own satellites. A team of Romanian high-school students brought together electronics, software and radio communications to make ROM-2 and ROM-3.
ROM-2 launched on 12 June 2023. ROM-3 followed on 11 November 2023. Both flew on SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare missions with Alba Orbital.
