Prague hosts International Astronautical Congress

The Czech capital is hosting the 61st International Astronautical Congress. The congress, which starts on Monday and lasts until Friday, will bring more than 2000 experts to Prague. For the first time, the congress is also being attended by representatives of space agencies from Japan, India and the US. Experts will debate, among other issues, how space exploration benefits mankind. The delegates will also have time to explore the host city – on Tuesday, they are set for a “fun evening” at one of Prague’s most famous pubs, U Fleků.
