Kancelarije Srbije za svemirske nauke, istraživanja i razvoj (SERBSPACE) osnovana je u avgustu 2016. godine, kao nevladina organizacija, sa sedištem u Beogradu i razvijena je kao krovna organizacija koja bi uključila sva relevantna lica, organizacije, akademske ustanove, privredna lica i predstavnike države iz oblasti svemirskog sektora u Srbiji. Delokrug rada Kancelarije obuhvata nekoliko oblasti, i to kako na nacionalnom, tako i na međunarodnom planu. Na nacionalnom planu, Kancelarija sprovodi stalni projekat izgradnje kapaciteta u oblasti svemirskih nauka, tehnologije i istraživanja, što obuhvata uključivanje gorenavedenih lica u projekte Kancelarije i stvaranje mreže stručnjaka iz ove oblasti, a sve u cilju jačanja pozicije Srbije na međunarodnom planu, a što između ostalog podrazumeva i primenu satelitskih tehnologija u svakodnevnom životu u Srbiji.
U vezi sa međunarodnim aspektom, uz pomoć Ujedinjenih nacija i kancelarije UN-a za pitanja svemira (UNOOSA), Kancelarija je zvanično predstavljena na Međunarodnom astronautičkom kongresu u Gvadalahari, Meksiku u septembru 2016. godine, i tom prilikom dobila podršku međunarodne svemirske zajednice. U tom smislu, SERBSPACE je pred Ujedinjenim nacijama predstavio projekat osnivanja Srpske svemirske agencije, i od tada sprovodi razne aktivnosti u cilju uključivanja Srbije na međunarodnu scenu. Kancelarija je stalni predstavnik Srbije na svim važnim međunarodnim događajima, a od najvažnijih izdvajamo Međunarodni astronautički kongres u Adelejdu, Australija koji se održao septembra 2017. godine, na kojem su predstavljeni naučni radovi naših članova i nastavljeni razgovori o pristupanju Srbije raznim međunarodnim organizacijama.
U oktobru iste godine, SERBSPACE je pozvan da učestvuje na konferenciji UN-a u Rusiji koja je za cilj imala implementaciju i koordinaciju međunarodnih programa u vezi sa svemirskim naukama, a sve u cilju održivog razvoja zemalja. Tom prilikom SERBSPACE je pred međunarodnim auditorijumu predstavio svoj model razvoja svemirskog sektora u Srbiji, ali naglasio i važnost regionalne saradnje i međunarodne saradnje.
Posebno je važno naglasiti da je SERBSPACE krajem februara 2018. godine predstavio projekat koji se odnosi na primenu satelitskih tehnologija u oblasti zaštite od prirodnih nepogoda na konferenciji UN-a u Pakistanu. Navedeni projekat je razvijen u saradnji sa Direktoratom za vode Ministarstva poljoprivrede, šumarstva i vodoprivrede i predstavlja jedan od koraka ka unapredjenju sveobuhvatne primene svemirskih tehnologija u Srbiji, u ovom slučaju u cilju unapredjenja korišćenja vodotokova, ali i sprečavanja nesreća i prirodnih nepogoda. S tim u vezi, UN je ponudio saradnju po ovom pitanju, a koja se ogleda u mogućnosti pribavljanja besplatnih satelitskih snimaka u cilju boljeg upravljanja i rešavanja prirodnih nepogoda, kao i uključivanje u brojne međunarodne programe ovog tipa.
U martu 2018. godine, po prvi put je organizovana Jurijeva noć, globalni događaj koji obeležava godišnjicu slanja prvog čoveka u svemir, Jurija Gagarina 12. aprila. U Beogradu je organizovan networking događaj sa ciljem unapređenja domaćih kapaciteta u oblasti svemira, a koji je podržao i Ruski dom.
***************
Serbian Office for Space sciences, Research and Development (SERBSPACE) was established in August 2016 as a non-governmental organization based in Belgrade and developed as an umbrella organization that would include all relevant individuals, organizations, academic institutions, business entities and county representatives from the field of space sector in Serbia. The scope of work of the Office covers several areas, both nationally and internationally. On the national level, the Office conducts a permanent capacity building project in the field of space science, technology and research, which involves the involvement of the above mentioned persons in the projects of the Office and the creation of a network of experts in this field, all with the aim of strengthening the position of Serbia internationally, including the application of satellite technologies in everyday life in Serbia.
Regarding the international aspect, with the help of the United Nations and the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), the Office was officially presented at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico in September 2016, and was supported by the international space community. In that sense, SERBSPACE presented the Serbian Space Agency project to the United Nations, and since then has been implementing various activities aimed at involving Serbia on the international scene. The office is a permanent representative of Serbia in all important international events, and among the most important are the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, which took place in September 2017, as well as in Bremen, Germany is 2018, at which the scientific work of our members was presented, and the talks on the accession of Serbia to various international organizations continued.
In October of 2017, SERBSPACE was invited to participate in a UN conference in Russia aimed at implementing and coordinating international programs related to space science, with the goal of sustainable development of countries. At that time, SERBSPACE presented its model for the development of the space sector in Serbia before the international auditorium, but emphasized the importance of regional cooperation and international cooperation.
It is especially important to point out that at the end of February 2018, SERBSPACE presented a project relating to the application of satellite technologies in the field of protection against natural disasters at a UN conference in Pakistan. This project was developed in cooperation with the Water Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management and represents one of the steps towards improving the overall application of space technologies in Serbia, in this case in order to improve the use of watercourses, but also to prevent accidents and natural disasters. In this regard, the UN has offered cooperation on this issue, which is reflected in the possibility of obtaining free satellite imagery in order to better manage and solve natural disasters, as well as to participate in numerous international programs of this type.
In March 2018, for the first time, Yuri's Night, a global event marking the anniversary of sending the first man to space, Yuri Gagarin, was organized for the first time on April 12th. A networking event was organized in Belgrade aimed at improving domestic capacities in the field of space, which was supported by the Russian House - Russian Center of Science and Culture in Belgrade.
