The Czech government has announced that after nearly half a century, the country is ready to send another astronaut to space. The man preparing for the mission, which is expected to take place in five years’ time, is Czech fighter pilot Aleš Svoboda, a member of the European Space Agency’s astronaut reserve.
The action plan to send a Czech astronaut to space, called “Czech Journey to Space”, was presented at a press conference on Thursday by Prime Minister Petr Fiala and other government and industry representatives. The Czech head of government described the project as a national mission to modernize the economy, education and science.
