The Lithuanian Space Association or LSA (Lithuanian: Lietuvos kosmoso asociacija or LKA) is a space organisation based in Vilnius, Lithuania. It is one of the partners that created the first two Lithuanian satellites.
History
In 2007 several Lithuanian institutions and enterprises signed a co-operation agreement to establish the National Technology Platform of Space Technologies and after a year the Government of Lithuania assigned the Ministry of Education and Science to start negotiations on co-operation with the European Space Agency.
In 2009 the Lithuanian Space Association was officially founded.
In 2014, the LSA launched its first two satellites LitSat-1 and Lituanica SAT-1 via the NanoRacks SmallSat Deployment Program. They were deployed from the International Space Station on February 28, 2014.
