The Czech Republic is home to many companies, institutions, and research institutes that deal with astronautics and space technologies. Space exploration and research have a long tradition in the country: Intercosmos 1, launched on 14 October 1969, was the first satellite that carried instruments developed in the former Czechoslovakia. Dozens of Czech instruments and systems have been deployed over the past 20 years of space activities, including both terrestrial environment explorations and planetary missions. In 2008, the Czech Republic became the 18th member of the European Space Agency. It continues to be a place of excellence for aeronautics, space technology, satellite navigation, Earth observation, and geographic information systems.
