Minister Kupka attended a meeting of the Council of the European Space Agency ESA

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Ariane 6 launch rocket lifted off for the first time on Tuesday evening, 9 July, at 21:00 CET. Czech businesses have also contributed significantly to this launch thanks to ESA's Ariane and Vega Development programme.
 

The long-term project "Czech Journey to Space" aims to contribute to the transformation of the Czech economy into an economy based on high added value activities through space activities and their further development. The government supported the project at its last meeting.
