  • 30Th IAA SYMPOSIUM on SPACE POLICY, REGULATIONS and ECONOMICS (E3) International Cooperation - a Cornerstone of 50 Years UN Space Law and Space Diplomacy (1)
    68th International Astronautical Congress 2017 Paper ID: 41608 oral 30th IAA SYMPOSIUM ON SPACE POLICY, REGULATIONS AND ECONOMICS (E3) International Cooperation - a cornerstone of 50 years UN Space Law and space diplomacy (1) Author: Mr. Michal Kunes Czech Space Office, Czech Republic, [email protected] OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR THE NEW ESA MEMBER STATES Abstract The European Space Agency (ESA) is an intergovernmental organisation. Its purpose is to provide and promote a peaceful cooperation among European states in space research, technologies development and space applications. ESA has 22 member states. The last states that joined ESA are: Czech Republic (18th member states since 12 November 2008), Romania (19th member states since 22 December 2011), Poland (20th member states since 19 November2012), Estonia (21st member states since 4 February 2015) and Hungary (22nd member states since 24 February 2015). History of their space industry dates back to the 70s and Soviet space program Interkosmos. After political changes in the 90s, they established a cooperation with new partners and later joined ESA. ESA membership opened new opportunities for their academic and industry organisations. The Czech Republic increased the ESA contribution from 7.12 M EUR in 2009 to 32.70 M EUR in 2017, Romania from 7.62 M EUR in 2012 to 30.03 M EUR in 2017, Poland from 28.94 M EUR in 2013 to 34.57 M EUR in 2017, Estonia from 2.48 M EUR in 2016 to 2.54 M EUR in 2017, only Hungary decreased the ESA contribution from 6.36 M EUR in 2016 to 6.20 M EUR in 2017.
