As an acronym, EURECA is European Retrievable Carrier (satellite)
If not an acronym, then you have spelled eureka wrongly, and eureka means
1. (initial capital letter) I have found (it): the reputed exclamation of Archimedes when, after long study, he discovered a method of detecting the amount of alloy mixed with the gold in the crown of the king of Syracuse.
2. (used as an exclamation of triumph at a discovery.)
[Origin: 1560–70; < Gk heúréka, 1st person singular perfect indication of heurÃskein to find, discover]
