United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is a UN body that promotes international cooperation in the peaceful use of outer space. Established in 1962, it helps countries develop space policies, access space technology, and ensure that space activities respect international law. UNOOSA plays a key role in fostering dialogue on issues like space debris, satellite use, and exploration, aiming to benefit humanity while encouraging sustainable practices in the increasingly important domain of outer space. It also supports developing countries in harnessing space for development goals, disaster management, and environmental monitoring.
