Orsolya Ferencz, Ministerial Commissioner for Space Research, said the application of space technology has become essential to numerous global services and emphasized its importance for scientific advancement and security policy.
She described the field as a “cornerstone” of competitiveness and fundamental to a knowledge-based society.
Ferencz noted that the government has adopted an independent space strategy with a strong emphasis on commercial development and plans to send another Hungarian astronaut to space.
She said about half of the experiments on the Axiom-4 mission—featuring Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu—are products of Hungary’s national space program.
Following several delays, the Axiom-4 mission is scheduled for launch early on June 19.
