This latest mission carried a flag signed by young people and space enthusiasts, representing curiosity, unity, and the belief that space exploration belongs to everyone.The Flag to Space Project 2025 was initiated by Peter Štefánik, SERA commercial astronaut candidate, as part of his outreach efforts to inspire the next generation and promote education in science and space-related fields.

The Flag to Space Project is an educational and outreach initiative dedicated to inspiring young people to pursue careers in science, technology, and space exploration.

USK Moves Toward Becoming the First Micronation with an Astronaut
The United States of Kerban (USK) is entering a historic phase as it pursues representation in human spaceflight through an astronaut candidacy within the Space Exploration & Research Agency. This step reflects the nation’s long-standing focus on innovation, technology, and its ambition to take part in humanity’s expansion beyond Earth. From its foundation, the USK has embraced space exploration as a core vision.
