Swiss Space Office

The Swiss Space Office (SSO) is the federal government's center of competence for national and international space affairs. As part of the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), the SSO is responsible for developing and implementing Switzerland's national space policy. It coordinates Swiss space activities, represents Swiss interests within the European Space Agency (ESA), and serves as a point of contact for industry, researchers, and users of space applications. The SSO works with partners like ESA, EPFL, ETH Zurich, and NASA and contributes to programs like ESA's PRODEX.
