After 44 years, Hungarian astronauts will conquer space!
Change language:
Orsolya Ferencz, the foreign ministry’s commissioner for space science, has called Hungary’s membership in the European Space Agency (ESA) since 2015 a “real success story”. Here are the Hungarian astronauts having a chance to go and conquer space after Bertalan Farkas’s voyage in 1980.
Speaking to public current affairs channel M1, Ferencz summarized the Hungarian Incentive Scheme programme which was launched in cooperation of ESA and the foreign ministry and had come to a close.
Under the programme the Hungarian space sector could learn about opportunities provided by ESA, she said. “Those opportunities have played a key role in a faster development of the sector, in making it more competitive and more prepared for future ESA programmes,” she said.
