BULGARIA: EnduroSat nanosatellite launched on Balkan-1 mission

[15/01/2025 05:57]

SOFIA-SABA
EnduroSat's nanosatellite was launched at 21:09 Bulgarian time Tuesday as part of the Balkan-1 mission into low-Earth orbit aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.

The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) reported that EnduroSat is one of the fastest-growing Bulgarian nanosatellite manufacturers globally and a leader in Bulgaria’s space sector, designing, building and operating satellites with the goal of making space accessible for all.

" The mission will provide images for the European Commission's Copernicus programme with a resolution of 1.5 m, which are critical for monitoring agriculture, forestry, land cover change management, climate impacts, as well as biodiversity and vegetation monitoring.

Balkan-1 is a nanosatellite weighing 32 kg. It orbits at an altitude of 500 kilometres above Earth. Its planned operational lifespan is five years, after which it is designed to deorbit and burn up to prevent space debris.

It is important to note that EnduroSat established ten years ago in Sofia, provides its services to over 350 clients worldwide, delivered more than 100 satellites to customers, and launched over 60 into orbit, according to BTA.
