FFG’s Aeronautics and Space Agency connects these entities with the world of space at the European and international levels. It implements Austria’s space policy and represents the country on international space committees, including ESA boards.
The Austrian Space Applications Programme (ASAP) funds research on space science, technology, and applications.
