Together, we’re advancing the rule of law in outer space 💫 🔗 Learn about our Global Space Law Project: shorturl.at/vI3Bo - As space grows more crowded, coordination is no longer optional-- it’s urgent. 🛰️ Through #COPUOS, and as mandated by the #PactForTheFuture, @UNOOSA is leading global efforts on #spacesustainability and space traffic coordination. Together, we’re keeping space safe for all. 🌍
00:00 - 🚀 #WorldSpaceWeek 2025 is here! From 4–10 October, people in 90+ countries celebrate the UN-declared World Space Week — the largest space event on Earth. 🌍✨ This year’s theme: Living in Space.
“Living in Space” might bring to mind lunar bases or sci-fi series, but it’s also a reminder that space tech already transforms life on Earth: 🛏️ Memory foam 📱 Cellphone cameras 🚗 Satellite navigation 🔥 Smoke detectors 💡 LED lights In many ways, we’re already living in space.At @UNOOSA, our mandate is clear: make sure space benefits all of humanity. From disaster response to climate action, from space law to international cooperation through #COPUOS, we work to keep space peaceful, safe & inclusive so we can all continue to benefit. #WorldSpaceWeek
