Space trends

How does the future in satellite telecommunications, navigation, Earth observation or launchers look like? We’ll look closer at the most important developments in one of the most interesting and progressive sectors in the world – space.

How to space-up the business in space

Space technologies are all around us, we use them daily while sometimes not even noticing. Space is not only weather prediction or navigation. Space offers a huge business potential. You will find out what are the successful use cases and how to start your space business.

Thousands of eyes from space

Over the next 10 years, thousands of new satellites will be in orbit. Will the current space revolution support the transition to a sustainable and smart society? Or will it fill the image of Big Brother having control of all happenings on Earth? The answer may be closer than you expected.

13:00

Will autonomous drones serve us before we drive autonomous cars?

Drones! Over the past 10 years, technical do-it-yourself experimental machines have evolved into highly sophisticated, mass-produced and affordable toys as well as technical equipment with high industrial potential. The next step on the way to their efficient use in industry and services is to free them from direct pilot control and fully automate operations in selected user scenarios. It looks like these technologies will soon be embracing in Europe too, so it’s the right place to be.

We are building a rocket in Brno!

There’s really no mistake in the title. In Brno, Technology Park is waiting for shipment of the finished upper part of the VEGA rocket, which in the autumn will carry over 40 satellites into space. How is this done? And what does SAB Aerospace plan to do next?

15:00

Successful application of technologies of Czech companies in space

How do Czech companies develop fuel valves for European launchers of the future VEGA E, or how do they apply special functional layers to exposed space satellite components? Czech Space Alliance have been successfully delivering technologies for space applications for many years. Members of this alliance will share some of their current achievements.

Space projects for the young generation

The universe is an incredibly fascinating topic that can motivate generations to study natural and technical sciences. What needs to be done to enable pupils to participate in space exploration in primary and secondary school? Where will their steps go?

Are we in space alone?

Is it even a well-asked question? Only in the observable universe there are more stars than there are grains of sand on the beach. There are probably more planets in space than stars. The human species is made up of the most common in the universe. Is there any chance we might be alone in space?

Future of Travel

How technologies change the world of travel and what is the role of the state? Czech start-up projects, companies and speakers that are moving the travel industry forward will share their visions.

10:00

Life beyond Earth

Yes, there is water on Mars and plans for the first astronaut expeditions to take on the Red Planet, taking on clearer and clearer contours. But how would mankind eat on Mars and draw resources? What are the conditions for growing plants in space at all, and what role do Czechs play in this? The Marsonaut project is a laboratory that seeks to answer some of these questions.

Space vision of the Czech Republic 2020+

Last year the Czech Republic celebrated 10 years of membership in the European Space Agency. Since 2021, Prague will become the centre of the newly prepared EU Space Program. Czech space is not only Magion. Many Czech subjects participated in satellites and other space missions. Where do Czech space activities go and what would we like to achieve in this area in the upcoming years? Come to see!

Czech start-ups are heading to space

Can the Czech Republic have its own rocket in the future, build giant stratospheric platforms, or perhaps become a leader in the development of small satellites? Yes! Czech start-ups are working on these and many other interesting projects thanks to the ESA BIC Prague space business incubator. Learn more about these projects and how you can do business in the space industry.

Make your life easier with CERN or AI technologies

AI BIC, CERN BIC, Mobility Innovation Hub ..or what is going on in supporting the introduction of innovative technologies and their transformation from technical concepts to breakthrough products or services? Let’s bridge the gap between science and industry.

15:00

On board data processing?

A huge amount of data is generated every day from Earth observation satellites, and which is sent to Earth. But Couldn’t this data be pre- processed in orbit? Could a satellite select high-value images and send them as a priority?

15:30

On the way to safe drone operations

Drones usage significantly increase which brings new challenges in their safe operation. One of the answers is e-identification of drones. Do you know how to solve it?
