Young Space Activities Overview in Poland

Space sector is developing rapidly in Poland after the country became a member of the European Space Agency in November 2012. The Polish Space Agency (POLSA) has been created and tasked with a mission to coordinate the space activities in the country and represent it outside. Polish space business entities have won several important contracts from the European Space Agency (ESA) programmes, as well as being active in the Horizon 2020 Space Area funds, creating new space-related or space-based products. In February 2017, the Polish Space Strategy document was published by the Ministry of Development.

Polish space companies are participating actively in international space projects, especially in their areas of specialisation to win contract from system integrator companies. Additionally, many projects are ran within the Polish Industry Incentive Scheme, whose duration was extended until the end of 2019. A relatively active start-up scene, based on Galileo Masters competition and on Space3ac space technology accelerator, gives hopes for establishing New Space companies in the near future in Poland as well.

Non-governmental and student organisations also play their role supporting the development of the Polish space sector by organising conferences and engaging in students competitions. Several initiatives were realised including: The European Rover Challenge, a Mars analogue base mission as well as several stratospheric experiments (by balloons and rockets) and the PW-SAT 2 CubeSat mission.
