NASA is investigating an incident that could turn out to be the first crime committed in space - the illegal entry into a foreign bank account from an International Space Station aboard.

Bulgarian companies and organizations can apply for projects worth up to 400,000 euros under the European Co-operation Countries Plan. Deputy Minister of Economy Alexander Manolev opened an information event for the upcoming Fourth Call for Proposals from Bulgaria, organized by the European Space Agency.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras this week heralded the creation of a new national emergency service in the wake of last month's deadly wildfires in Attica, but in fact Greece already has an expert agency that has for years been offering its expertise via Copernicus, the European Union's Earth observation program - chiefly to other countries though. 

Britain is set to demand the European Union repays up to 1 billion pounds ($1.34 billion) if the bloc continues to force British companies out of the Galileo satellite navigation system, a government official said.

Europe must continue to maintain its leading position in space technology and innovation, increase its share of world markets and take advantage of the opportunities that space policy development provides.

According to an announcement made by the Greek government, the country will have its own Space Agency. The objective, of course, is not to start any independent…space exploration program.
