Space Science and Technology Institute (SSTI) in Lithuania is a brand new
private research organization established by the Lithuanian Space
Association in 2010 and intended for space related scientific research,
technology development and its transfer to the business organizations.
Institute has close relationships with most of the Lithuanian universities
like Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University,
Vilnius University and some space related business companies which makes it
highly suitable for technology development and transfer for further
commercial use.
Experience accumulated in the organization is mostly influenced by
personalities working there, in case of SSTI the experience in spacecraft
engineering, electronics, communication, aerodynamics etc. could be named.
Some of the people working in institute and most of the members of its
council have participated in ESA, NATO and FP5, FP6, FP7 European projects
or are European projects experts in fields of space, aeronautics and
transportation.
Institute has also good relationships with several European Universities and
organizations performing the space related activities. Scientific and
knowledge transfer visits are often organized to these universities. Several
of such universities are: TU Delft in Netherlands, Aalborg University in
Denmark, University of Applied Sciences of Aachen and TU Berlin in Germany,
ETH Zurich in Switzerland etc.
Since the institute have good relationships with the Universities of
Lithuania students of all levels (bachelor, master and doctoral) are (and
are planned to be) widely involved in the scientific research work of
Institute. This could give a great impulse in preparing the high level
scientist and specialist in space and high-tech related fields. Such
specialists are of extremely high importance first locally in Lithuania and
entire Europe interested in space research programs.
As most of the high technologies in science or industry have space
application origin, or have been implemented in space or could be
implemented there the Space Science and Technology Institute have a wide
range of possible fields of activity. Such wide range of possible activities
allows both performing thorough researches and producing the final complete
scientific or industrial demonstration products. Possibility of producing
the final real scientific or industrial integral product was the keystone
which had to highlight the SSTI among other research an industry
institutions in Lithuania.
Mentioned space and high-tech related activities are intended to boost the
high technology activities (both space and non-space related) in Lithuania
which on its turn could lead to the rise and expansion of high-tech
companies and rise of the brand new space related industry in Lithuania.
The recent activity of SSTI is creation of the first scientific
nano-satellite in Lithuania intended both for scientific tasks, technologies
demonstrations, educational purposes and popularization of science.
