The era when only major players dominated space is over. An increasing number of participants are now entering the space game—both in low Earth orbit and further out in the Solar System. Many of these new players come from Brno and the surrounding South Moravian Region. There are amazing developments currently taking place in local workshops, laboratories, and development offices. From March 3 to 5, 2026, the Brno/South Moravian Space Days, organized by the Brno Observatory and Planetarium, will showcase these exciting advancements. Don’t miss this chance to learn more! The event will feature tours of space companies, such as S.A.B. Aerospace, as well as workshops, lectures, and an evening program. Some parts of the event will be free, while others can be accessed via Brno iD.
