SGAC Belarus

Welcome to the page of SGAC Belarus! Our country has a long standing history of participation in space-related programs and activities as a former member of the USSR. A new era in Belarusian space industry has just recently begun with the approval Belarusian space research and peaceful exploration program from 2008 to 2012 by the Council of Ministers. The programme mainly aims to advance the Belarusian economy and satisfy the demand of state agencies and citizens of Belarus for space information. If you are interested in space, or want to become involved yourself, do not hesitate to contact our NPoC for more information. Join us!

Young Space Activities Overview in Belarus

SGAC has only recently reached Belarus, and at the moment there is not much activity in the field of space education for the young. In the course of establishing the space research programme, the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus has become a coordinator and it remains to be seen if and how national activities will create awareness for space-related subjects. There are plans to develop information space technologies and assimilate them in various areas of social and economic activities. The programme is designed with the country’s economic potential in mind and taking into account budget and extra budget funds. SGAC hopes to be a part of the new era of Belarusian space by giving an opportunity to young people to grow, develop their network, and build their knowledge and leadership skills.
