"Uma mulher de Marte": A vida em busca da exploração especial
Quando falamos sobre aventuras espaciais, nossa mente tende a vagar para os astronautas famosos. No entanto, quase sempre esquecemos que há ...

Como sou eslovaca, foi importante para mim voltar ao país e ajudar a impulsionar o setor espacial lá também. Passei alguns anos na Eslováquia como Presidente da Organização Eslovaca para Atividades Espaciais, quando lançamos o primeiro satélite eslovaco, o <anchor>skCUBE</anchor>, iniciamos um programa de graduação em engenharia espacial na Universidade FEI STU em Bratislava (onde sou professora visitante) e ajudamos a avançar para que a Eslováquia se tornasse um Membro Associado da Agência Espacial Europeia. Agora, estou me concentrando principalmente nas atividades que mencionei, após me aposentar como Diretora da estação de pesquisa espacial HI-SEAS no Havaí, onde conduzi mais de 40 missões espaciais simuladas para a Lua e Marte.

skCUBE \[SOSA\]

**skCUBE** is a [1U CubeSat](../doc_sat/cubesat.htm) for educational and popularisation outreach developed by the Slovak Organization for Space Activities (SOSA). It is Slovakia's first satellite.

skCUBE carries a digipeater on UHF, a CW beacon on UHF and an imager using 2.4 GHz downlinks. There will be other additional experiments including a VLF receiver.

It was to be launched utilizing Spaceflight’s Sherpa system on a [Falcon-9 v1.2](../doc_lau_det/falcon-9_v1-2.htm) launch vehicle to a sun-synchronous orbit in the first quarter of 2016, but was rebooked to a [PSLV-XL](../doc_lau_det/pslv-xl.htm) launch in 2017.
