The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) is a public institution with extrabudgetary funding〔http://www.cdep.ro/pls/legis/legis_pck.htp_act_text?idt=16654〕 which coordinates the national space technology research programs and the space research related activities since 1991. ROSA is subordinated to the Ministry of Education〔http://www.edu.ro/index.php/articles/19683〕 As representative of the Romanian Government, the Romanian Space Agency establishes cooperative agreements with international organizations such as the European Space Agency〔http://lege5.ro/Gratuit/gi3diojshe/legea-nr-262-2011-pentru-ratificarea-acordului-dintre-romania-si-agentia-spatiala-europeana-esa-privind-aderarea-romaniei-la-conventia-pentru-infiintarea-agentiei-spatiale-europene-si-termenii-si-cond〕 and the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and also bilateral agreements. Together 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. The Romanian Space Agency also conducts research projects through the (ROSA Research Center ). ==History== Romania has a long tradition in the aeronautical industry, which includes several historical personalities such as: * Conrad Haas, who constructed multistage rockets with delta stabilizers in 1529 (Sibiu) * Traian Vuia, designer and constructor of the first autonomous take-off aeroplane in 1906 * Henri Coandă, designer and constructor of the first jet aeroplane in 1910 * Hermann Oberth, designer of space rockets and "father of space navigation" * Elie Carafoli, contributor in aerodynamics and space sciences, former president of the IAF Romania can look upon a heritage of companies like Aerostar, Avioane Craiova, Industria Aeronautică Română, Romaero and Societatea Pentru Exploatări Tehnice – today more than twenty types of aircraft are being manufactured in Romania, some based on domestic designs. Owing to this heritage, the country has some experience in the field of space applications, such as satellite communications, remote sensing, geographic information systems andglobal information, positioning and navigation systems. Since 1977 it operates an Intelsat ground station in Cheia with two 32 m antennas.〔http://jurnalul.ro/it/stiinta/aplicatii-spatiale-in-romania-314636.html〕 Romania contributed to more than thirty scientific and technological space missions in the Interkosmos program, including the 1981 flight of Dorin-Dumitru Prunariu on the Soyuz 40. The Government together with private entities in Romania supports space activities as important and necessary element for the social development, therefore, in 1992, Romania was one of the first Eastern European country to sign a cooperation agreement with ESA〔http://lege5.ro/Gratuit/gyztgmbx/acordul-intre-agentia-spatiala-europeana-si-guvernul-romaniei-privind-cooperarea-spatiala-in-scopuri-pasnice-din-11121992-〕 for the peaceful uses of outer space, followed by a Framework Agreement with ESA in 2006.〔http://www.esa.int/About_Us/Welcome_to_ESA/European_Cooperating_States〕 Romania contributed through co-investigators to several ESA missions such as (Hershel ), Planck, SOHO and Gaia. Since 2012, the Romanian flag is raised at the European Space Agency (ESA)〔http://www.esa.int/ESA_in_your_country/Romania/Drapelul_romanesc_a_fost_inalt〕 headquarters, after Romania officially became the 19th ESA Member State on 22 December 2012. With Romania's accession to ESA, it was opened for the Romanian researchers, especially for the Romanian industry, the opportunity to participate in ESA missions. Over two decades, the Romanian Space Agency (ROSA), based on their own research and consulting efforts, has become a scientific and high technology organization that coordinates, promotes and represents the national research activities and space aerospace and security applications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Romanian Space Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
