GOLIAT is the first Romanian satellite. The project has been started in 2005 by ROSA, having an initial budget of approximately 400.000 euro. GOLIAT is a nanosatellite based on the American Cubesat standard, cube-shaped 10x10x10 cm and weighting 1 kg. There are three scientific experiments onboard: SAMIS which aims to measure the meteorites flux, Dose-N which should measure the cosmic radiation dose on an Earth orbit and the acquisition of images from a 3Mpixels and 21x28 m ground resolution camera installed on the satellite.
