As of 26 February 2012, it appeared that the satellite had not settled into the orbit properly. Due to a malfunction to its stabilizing system, it was expected that the satellite would spin uncontrollably and eventually get lost in space. However, the coordinator of the project, Mugurel Bălan stated that the situation was under control.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realitatea.net/are-primul-satelit-romanesc-zilele-numarate-inca-nu-s-a-stabilizat-pe-orbita_917207.html |title=The first Romanian satellite hasn't stabilized on the orbit yet |language=ro |access-date=4 March 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229083700/http://www.realitatea.net/are-primul-satelit-romanesc-zilele-numarate-inca-nu-s-a-stabilizat-pe-orbita_917207.html |archive-date=29 February 2012 }}</ref>

The agency managed to make contact with the satellite on 18 February 2012 but only briefly to receive some basic parameters, however it was unable to get its systems running. Contact was lost permanently shortly afterwards. The satellite re-entered the atmosphere on 2 January 2015 and disintegrated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jurnalul.ro/stiri/observator/cum-si-a-omorat-romania-primul-satelit-construit-la-preturi-astronomice-explicatiile-halucinante-ale-sefului-agentiei-spatiale-romane-rosa-632262.html|title=Cum şi-a omorât România primul satelit, construit la preţuri astronomice.
