Latvia’s participation in the European Space Agency is under threat due to the omission of membership funding from the nation’s proposed 2025 budget. Education and Science Minister Ilze Indriksone confirmed the funding exclusion, raising concerns about the country’s continued involvement. Latvia became a member of the ESA in 2020, signifying a commitment to European space exploration and research. The lack of allocated funds casts doubt on Latvia’s ability to meet its financial obligations to the agency. As of June 11th, it remains unclear whether Latvia will be forced to relinquish its ESA membership. Latvian Television first reported the potential issue, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the country’s future in space affairs. The government has yet to issue a statement addressing a potential solution to secure continued funding.
