Mission

 

The main goal of the AMBIC satellite (Ambitious Czech Satellite) is to provide image data of the territory of the Czech Republic from space and thus ensure the independence of the Czech Republic from information from commercial satellites. The project anticipates the broad involvement of the Czech industry up to the so-called "full mission" stage, in which the partners will be able to participate in the development, testing, launch, and operation of the satellite itself and its subsystems. AMBIC belongs to the Ambitious Projects of the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic under the auspices of ESA.
