The article discusses the importance of the Brno Space Cluster in the space industry of the Czech Republic. According to the article, the "spacers" are individuals working in this field, often unnoticed in everyday life, yet they play a crucial role in shaping modern technologies such as navigation systems or fraud prevention in banking. The Brno Space Cluster, based in Pisárky, is currently the largest space association in the country and serves as a hub for commercial and academic entities involved in space projects.
"Spacers, however, shape our everyday reality much more than we might dare to admit."
The article states that the vision of the Brno Space Cluster is to connect companies working on space projects and together transform the Moravian capital into a centre of the space industry. Both commercial and academic entities are involved in the cluster. Talented university graduates thus have relatively easy access to lucrative job opportunities. The development of the Czech space industry is moving forward by leaps and bounds thanks to this symbiosis. The result of such cooperation is, for example, the new field of systems engineering Space Applications at Brno University of Technology.
The article also points out that Brno is home to a number of international space projects in which Czech space explorers can participate. One of these important projects is the LUGO mission, which aims to study volcanic formations on the Moon. Overall, the Brno Space Cluster represents a major shift towards strengthening the Czech Republic's capabilities and visibility in the global space sector.
