The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA; Romanian: Agenția Spațială Română) is a public institution[2] that coordinates Romania's national space technology. ROSA, established in 1991, is subordinate to the Romanian Ministry of Education.[3][4][5]
ROSA is not a representative of the Romanian Government, but ROSA establishes cooperative agreements with international organizations such as the European Space Agency,[6] and the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR). Along with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ROSA represents Romania at the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPUOS) and at its subcommittees.
In addition, the Romanian Space Agency conducts research projects through the ROSA Research Center.
