Hungary will contribute EUR 32 million to European Space Agency (ESA) programs in 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade's commissioner for space research said on Sunday.

Speaking on the last day of a rocket and spacecraft construction camp in Baja, Orsolya Ferencz said Hungary’s ESA payments had quintupled over the past six years.

Space research in Hungary has advanced “at rocket speed” since the foreign ministry took over coordination of the sector six years ago, she added.

She also noted that a network of CanSat laboratories, which supported students’ preparations for participation in the ESA CanSat space industry contest, would continue to be expanded.

As the Budapest Business Journal reported earlier, Orsolya Ferencz called for a common European space research strategy and regulation in an address to a conference of ambassadors to the European Union back in mid-July.
