Experiments from Czechia, Poland and Slovakia are in talks to fly, including projects that did not make it to the ISS, adapted to suborbital conditions.

The Crew

An international crew from Czechia, Poland, Slovakia and Germany.

The Mission

ECM1 is the first Central European commercial space mission.

Interkosmos Legacy

In 1978 Czechoslovakia became the third country in the world to send a citizen into space. Poland and East Germany followed that same year, and ECM1 picks up this Central European story.

Flight Window

The mission has a flight window at the turn of Q2 and Q3 2027.
