Well, It's very good to have so many celebrations.

In a row and I'm very happy really to say a few words about very important step forward on in space operations.

Again, sometimes we are forgetting what does it mean, you know,

in general instructural developments, you know, perhaps I am always repeating that I am.

Comparing space developments with what they call new frontier developments. I don't know one in the history.

When new frontiers like western part of the United States or some other continents were developed,

usually the first ones which were coming were explorers.

And the same now is with the space. Who is coming into the space?

Those who are really exploring, looking for new possibilities, and so on and so on.

But the same what was happening after the exploration period with new frontiers after that period of Operationalizing or exploitation of those new territories was starting to happen. And now what we are facing here. Quite a bureaucratic terminology in space operations.

We are coming exactly to this breaking point when space is becoming not so much a new frontier. But simply new territory. Where we shall build everything you know.

In my childhood we were reading only in fantasy books.

I will not go into details what can be done manufacturing, lunar exploration,

in space operations to defend our own constellations because that is really what we need to take care of. And here again our partnership with ESA. I see as very important. What we are able to achieve.

Last June we signed a very important ISOs in Space Operations and Services Joint Declaration with 5 additional member states and EEA countries,

bringing the total number of signatories to 10.

We are planning to have We are initiating the first key steps for the ISOS pilot mission,

and this is becoming a new reality.

So I would like to congratulate you on witnessing the totally new reality in space becoming a real reality.
