A new decade of Polish presence in space

At the Polish Space Agency (POLSA), we have always enthusiastically entered the new decade with ambitious development plans to strengthen Poland's position on the international stage and accelerate technological and economic progress in the country. In an era of increasing competition in the space sector, as a key institution, we have worked with commitment to build space infrastructure, develop innovative technologies and promote international cooperation. Our priorities for the coming years, in my opinion, should include, among other things, the development of advanced satellite systems, participation in space exploration, enhancing security in orbit, and building a human resource base for the space sector. The Polish Space Agency (POLSA) was established in 2014 to support the development of the domestic space sector and integrate it with international programs. Over the decade, Poland has become an active participant in global initiatives, signing agreements with ESA, NASA and agencies from France, Italy, the US and Israel, among others, and joining the Artemis Accords in 2021 opened the way for Poland to participate in lunar exploration missions.
