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.
