SGAC Czech Republic Welcome to the SGAC Czech Republic country page! This page will provide you with a basic overview about space activities, events, organizations and points of contact of all kinds in the Czech Republic. While the Czech Republic may be in the centre of Europe, we need you, university students and young professionals, to raise the awareness and interest of our country in the stars.
Young Space Activities Overview in the Czech Republic In the Czech Republic, the main space education and outreach efforts are carried out by the Czech Space Office Education Department, which organises events, courses, visits and camps, including a Mars expedition. The department's aim is to get young people involved in spaces activities, such as the Space Generation Congress and the International Astronautical Congress, and to encourage them to study space-related subjects. The main goal is to inspire, motivate and support young people in their self-improvement in modern sciences and new technology.
Universities carry their own space research in areas including measurement, control, material and structural sciences. Their motto is “Space education has to be game!” It has to be fun! It has to be challenging! These efforts in the Czech Republic are paying off.The European student moon orbiter is a great example of that. Students from Czech Technical University are now working on an AOCS interface module. Students from university of west Bohemia are working on CubeSat. Czech space activities are expanding and we can expect more in years to come. Czech Republic companies also work at internationally on projects related to space resistant electronics, communication, control, image processing, etc. With their growth comes the inclusion of many bright Czech young professionals in the space industry.
