The Grémmian Space Agency is the governmental agency in the Democracy of Grum that is responsible for developing and creating aircraft and sub-orbital spacecraft. It was unofficially created on June 3, 2012, and has experience in creating solar-heated hot air balloons and kites.
Solar Balloons
Although vague plans of building solar balloons had existed before Grémmia joined the micronational community, the solar balloon project was created mainly as a response to the successful Aureus Project of Egtavia. It is still in the developmental stage and is underfunded.
