Poland increases its European Space Agency contribution

Poland has increased its contribution to the European Space Agency (ESA), as announced by the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) in a report. The funds allocated to the ESA will largely benefit the Polish industry, enabling the development of technology and the creation of competitive products and services, according to Grzegorz Wrochna, President of POLSA.

The increased investment will support Poland's participation in ESA programs, access to research on the International Space Station (ISS), the construction of Polish observation satellites, and internships for Poles at ESA. The decision aligns with the Polish Space Strategy adopted in 2017 and aims to foster the growth of the Polish space sector in the European market.
