Nicaragua's space-related activities are primarily conducted through its National Secretariat for Outer Space, Moon, and Other Celestial Bodies Affairs (SNAE), established in 2021. Despite facing economic and technological constraints, the SNAE aims to promote space activities and broaden the country's capabilities in education, industry, science, and technology. In 2024, Nicaragua joined the China-led International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) program, focusing on collaboration in education, capacity building, joint research, and space architecture.
