The first Czech bio-mission will test oxygen production in space via a microbiological experiment. The YSpace team, composed of students from Brno University of Technology (VUT) and Mendel University, will focus on utilizing cyanobacteria to produce oxygen during the CIMER mission. The experiment’s findings could contribute to more sustainable oxygen supplies for long-term space missions.

This year, we commemorate two significant anniversaries at once. On January 29, Prof. Ing. Armin Delong, DrSc., would have celebrated his 100th birthday, and it has been exactly 100 years since the dawn of electron microscopy in our country. Join us in celebrating the scientific tradition in Brno that has propelled the city among the world’s “microscopy capitals”.

Brno rivals more well-known startup hubs across Europe.
