Unless you have an extremely narrow definition of "space exploration", no.

Better candidates: China (for developing rockets in the first place), Italy (for the development, or at least first well-documented scientific use, of the telescope), Russia (for launching the first artificial satellite AND being the first country to put a human in orbit).
