Today marked the official conclusion of the first edition of the ESA Spaceship Poland programme—a milestone celebrating months of intensive work, collaboration, and joint research activities.

During the closing event, participants presented the outcomes of their projects to the ESA Spaceship Poland team, reflecting on six months of commitment, professional growth, and valuable experience gained within the international space sector. They also received words of appreciation from Dr Aidan Cowley, Programme Coordinator at the European Space Agency (ESA), who emphasized that the first cohort of participants will always remain an integral part of the history of the Spaceship programme in Poland.

Over the past several months, participants have engaged in collaborative research while taking part in two study visits to key European Space Agency facilities: the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Germany and the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. The programme provided not only opportunities for scientific and technological development but also a unique platform for building international networks within the global space community.

We warmly congratulate all participants on the successful completion of this remarkable first edition of the programme. Thank you for your dedication, enthusiasm, and the energy you brought to ESA Spaceship Poland.

We wish you every success in your future endeavours and are confident that our paths will cross again.
