> In a May 30 ceremony in Madrid, Spanish government officials signed the Accords, which outline principles for safe and responsible space exploration. Spain is the 25th country to sign the Accords and the second this month, after the Czech Republic May 3.

> Spain has for years been a major contributor to the European Space Agency, but recently has worked to bolster its space presence. The government announced it would establish a national space agency, the Agencia Espacial Española, in 2021, and the agency became operational earlier this year. It is also working to support a growing space industry, such as PLD Space, a launch vehicle startup planning a suborbital launch of a prototype rocket as soon as May 31.
