Poland's accession to the European Space Agency unanimously approved
Saturday, July 14, 2012
Poland has now been approved by the ESA for membership, meaning there are now just documents to sign and an internal ratification process to go through before it becomes the ESA's 20th member state.
The current budget contributions by the 19 member states are:
Member state | ESA membership | National Program | Contr. (mill. €) | Contr. (%) |

France | 30 October 1980 | CNES | 751.4 | 18.8% |
Germany | 30 October 1980 | DLR | 713.8 | 17.9% |
Italy | 30 October 1980 | ASI | 350.5 | 8.7% |
United Kingdom | 30 October 1980 | UKSA | 240.0 | 6.0% |
Spain | 30 October 1980 | INTA | 184.0 | 4.6% |

Czech Republic | 12 November 2008 | CSO | 11.5 | 0.3% |
Romania | 23 December 2011 | ROSA | 7.6 | 0.2% |
I haven't seen how much Poland is set to contribute but roughly looking at the GDP of these countries it might end up at about 60 million or so.
