Strategies of actors involved in space race
Brabcová, Karolína ; Doboš, Bohumil (advisor) ; Pražák, Jakub (referee)
The master thesis entitled Strategies of actors involved in space race aims to answer the question of what the strategies of selected space actors for the present and the near future are, and in what these goals can we predict cooperation or competition. Furthermore, the work examines in which directions the strategies of the actors are declining, what is the possible success rate and in which areas of space policy the actors should further develop. The work is structured into four chapters, which present the specific current and future goals of selected state space actors (USA, ESA, Russia, China, India, Japan) and commercial space actors. The strategic goals are analysed and compared from primary available official sources and put into practice within the list of main areas of interest and specific space missions. The main issues of space activities influencing current and future space policy are also defined here.

Position of space private sector in China and USA
Nodesová, Markéta ; Pražák, Jakub (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the differences in approach of liberal-democratic regimes and authoritative regimes in relation to the private space sector in terms of the long-term sustainability of each approach, in the cases of the People's Republic of China and the United States of America as representatives of these regimes. The aim of the thesis is to find out the relationship of the cases to the private space sector from the beginning of the "New Space" era to the present day. "New Space" represents the rise of commercial actors and private companies who intend to use the space for commercial gain. This "New Space" ecosystem forms new relationships between countries and private actors, which also leads to changes in national space programs. While states maintain their leading position in the space domain, they are increasingly linked to the "New Space" actors. However, the state-private sector relationship differs depending on the regime in which the country operates. In the first part of my thesis, I describe the principles of both examined regimes and set out the basic conditions for the long- term sustainability of the private space sector according to Mahan's theory. I also assessed the astropolitics of space, including the astropolitics of China and the USA. Subsequently, I focused on...

Political and social reflection of rivalry and cooperation in space
Nitra, Vojtěch ; Rak, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
The paper focuses on the so called "space race" which lasted more than twenty years. This is a rather broad term covering competition between the two superpowers (the US and the USSR) during the cold war. Therefore, this thesis pays only minimal attention to particular projects and entirely leaves out technical details. Instead, it explores efforts to venture into space as representing the apotheosis of scientific combat. It perceives competition and collaboration in this area to be symbolic manifestations of the rivalry and collaboration taking place between the superpowers in the late 20th century. Attention is paid chiefly to the conditions and causes underlying the rivalry but also to its consequences as well as the impact made by overcoming symbolic milestone in space on the general global politics. The paper thus deals with political, economic, social and scientific conditions of space programmes and presentation of the achievements attained. It describes the process of human venturing (especially by the US and the USSR) into space from its very beginning. It chronologically looks at prior stages to end up in our contemporary era and provides an outlook for the future.

Media image of the Apollo 11 spaceflight in the Czechoslovak press
Krumphanzl, Filip ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Šírová, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on media image of the Apollo 11 spaceflight to the Moon and back, including the days right before and after the event. In particular, it is about the image as it was depicted by a three contemporary Czechoslovak daily newspapers - Rudé právo, Mladá fronta and Svobodné slovo in the months of July and August of 1969. Among other things, the work examines whether forenamed newspapers distorted the facts or otherwise misinterpreted the reality that would denigrate the ideological enemy. In other words, whether they were ideologically biased. It is only logical given that the United States was in a state of high alert with the Soviet Union which had it's own cosmic programme. The chapters explaining the international situation, the role of the space program in the Cold War and the conditions of Czechoslovak media back then are part of the theoretical part. This work can serve as an addition to the previously known facts about the propaganda purposes of the Czechoslovak press during the culmination of the Cold War. Due to the detailed analysis of the material, it is possible to distinguish not only how but also the intensity of every specific newspapers about the event.
