BC, Tallinn, 17.12.2013.Print version
Estonia will most likely start holding negotiations over becoming a full member of the European Space Agency (ESA), LETA/Public Broadcasting reports.

The space matters council working by the economy ministry made a proposal to the ministry for the latter to submit a proposal to the government to hold negotiations.

 

Riigikogu speaker Ene Ergma said in the parliament on Tuesday that Estonia is ready to become a full member of the ESA.

 

Ergma stressed that Estonia became a space country on May 1 this year. "ESTCube-1 had a successful start and successfully flies above us at the height of 600 km. This start took us to the list of space states – we are the 42nd state to have our own satellite in orbit," she said.
