Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 28, 2025
The Czech Republic has taken a significant step toward launching a national astronaut into space by submitting a Letter of Intent (LOI) to Axiom Space. Signed by Minister of Transport Martin Kupka, the LOI signals the country's commitment to participating in a future human spaceflight mission with the commercial spaceflight company.
The move builds upon an earlier Memorandum of Understandi
