This document provides an overview of Bulgaria's 45 years of space activities. Some key points: - Bulgaria began participating in space research in 1969 through the Intercosmos program, preparing experiments for satellites. - In 1972, Bulgaria's first satellite apparatus P-1 was launched, making Bulgaria the 18th country to explore space. - Bulgaria has since participated in experiments on the International Space Station and other international collaborations. - The Space Research and Technology Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences coordinates Bulgaria's national space program and has developed experiments in areas like aerospace engineering, remote sensing, and space medicine.

2. - Организираното участие на български учени в космически изследвания
стартира през 1969 г.;
- 1967-1976 г. - участие в програмата Интеркосмос подготовка на
експерименти за спътниците "Интеркосмос - 8" (ИК - 8, 1972 г.), ИК - 12,
IK-14, IK-19 и тежките геофизични ракети “Вертикал” - 3, 4, 6, 7, 10

През 1981 г. България организира и реализира двe космичес
програми: "България 1300-I" и «МЕТЕОР-ПРИРОДА"
- БЪЛГАРИЯ 1300- за изследвания в областта на
космическото пространство физика;
- МЕТЕОР-ПРИРОДА - за дистанционно наблюдение на
Земята

1979 - Bulgaria prepared its first cosmonaut Georgi Ivanov
- Експерименти за изследване на
природните оптични емисии в
атмосферния въздух (Прибора ДЪГА);
- Многоканален спектрометричен прибор
за дистанционно наблюдение на Земята от
Космоса (спектрометър Спектър -15);
- Психо-физиологичен мониторинг на
космонавтите (оборудване СРЕДЕЦ);
- Опити за космически изследвания на
физически материали.
1988 - the second Bulgarian cosmonaut Aleksandar
Aleksandrov. We prepared more than 42 experiments and 12 onboard systems.
