It is continuing institution of previous Air Force Academy of General Milan Rastislav Stefanik, Military Aviation College and Military Aviation School, which all were predecessors of the present Faculty of Aeronautics. This faculty is now fully civilian aerospace institution.

Faculty offers wide range of possibilities in study and scientific research focused on aviation, aerospace and flight training. The study and research is guaranteed by many experts and specialists, many of which were before associated with both military Air Force and civilian aviation. The study program is guaranteed in Bachelor/Master/PhD. postgraduate technical areas in aerospace.

At present there is possibility to focus on study and research in various areas of space technologies, but these are mainly as part of the PhD doctoral program. One of the latest space technology projects is the dissertation of "Theoretical Concept of Satellite Navigation System for Mars", named as Mars GNSS FATIMA (from acronym Fix And TIme provisioning system for MArs).
