CroCube is the first ever satellite launched by Croatia. The 1U cubesat rode aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 in late December 2024 and measures a tiny 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. Despite the diminutive size the satellite, packed with camera and sensors, broadcast it's first data, imagery and video captured on January 28th.

Throughout it's mission life it will be delivering data to anyone with the mobile app with imagery also making it's way onto their social feeds such as their Instagram Page

The $124,000 CroCube is a crowd-funded mission by The Croatian Society for Education Outside the Box, and Czech company Spacemaniac. The primary goal of the 5-year mission is to encourage interest in astronomy and space in Croatia.

More mission information can be found on the CroCube Website.
