This document describes a project to establish an aerospace technology transfer office for crisis management and disaster resilience. The project is a collaboration between the Space Research and Technology Institute and the Center for National Security and Defense Research at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The project will create a technology transfer office network to commercialize research in areas like aerospace, security, defense, and ICT and link scientists and industry to customers. It aims to support technology transfer, training, and establish international partnerships to support economic development.

4. “BULGARIA 1300-I” and“METEOR-PRIRODA”
In 1981 Bulgaria organized and implemented
two satellite programs
- BULGARIA 1300- for studies in the field of space physics;
- METEOR-PRIRODA - for remote sensing of the Earth.

5. SSTRI 5
1979 - Bulgaria prepared its first cosmonaut Georgi Ivanov
- experiments for study of natural optical
atmospheric emissions (System DAGA);
- multi-channel spectrometric remote sensing of
the Earth (spectrometer SPECTAR -15);
- psycho-physiological monitoring of the
cosmonauts (Equipment SREDETS);
- experiments for space material studies.
1988 - the second Bulgarian cosmonaut Aleksandar Aleksandrov. We prepared
more than 42 experiments and 12 onboard systems.
