Serbia Joins NASA's Artemis Accords As The 69th Signatory

By Atom Brief Editors

Foreign Minister Marko Đurić signed the deal as NASA credited Serbian engineers who worked on Apollo missions decades ago.

• July 16, 2026: the ceremony took place at NASA's Washington headquarters.
• NASA singled out engineer Mike Vučelić, honored for the Apollo 13 rescue.
• Serbia can now supply CubeSats and payloads for NASA's planned Moon Base.

Why it matters: Belgrade owns no rocket or lander; what it signed is a diplomatic vote, not a space program.
