Czech Space Office

The Czech Space Office, known as CSO, was the central coordination point for space science activities in the Czech Republic, a non profit association created in November 2003 in Prague. It served as an information and advisory center for Czech academia and industry seeking to take part in international space programs, provided consulting services, organized seminars and workshops, maintained a database of Czech institutions active in space, and carried out public outreach. It terminated operations in 2024; the Czech Republic, an ESA member since 2008, does not have a dedicated national space agency, and space coordination is instead handled by the Ministry of Transport under the National Space Plan.
