Croatia has joined the Artemis Accords, a set of rules for peaceful space exploration. It became the 74th country to sign the agreement. The signing ceremony took place in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Officials from NASA and the U.S. government joined the event. Science minister Radovan Fuchs signed the document for his country.
Croatia is a small country, but its interest in space is growing fast. It launched its first satellite on December 21, 2024, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The minister said the agreement can bring new technology and support the economy. The United States and seven other nations created the accords in 2020. Member countries can now work together on future missions to the Moon.
