🚀✨ The 68th session of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (#COPUOS2025) ended on a high note! States:

✅ Acknowledged Membership applications from 🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire, 🇭🇳 Honduras, 🇲🇹 Malta, 🇲🇻 Maldives, 🇬🇲 The Gambia, 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe.
✅ Received permanent observer requests from African Space Agency, ACES Worldwide, Lunar Policy Platform; observers welcomed from 🇰🇭 🇨🇮 🇭🇳 🇱🇦 🇲🇻 🇲🇹 🇲🇩 🇷🇸 🇺🇬 🇻🇦 & Women in Aerospace Europe.
✅ Called on the 80th UNGA to decide on convening #UNISPACEIV.
✅ Established an international Expert Group on Space Situational Awareness, chaired by 🇦🇪 UAE.
✅ Endorsed the Action Team on Lunar Activities Consultation (ATLAC) workplan and priority topics for lunar cooperation.
✅ Requested UNOOSA to gather input from States and the space sector on STM regulations, best practices, and policies, ahead of discussions at the 2026 Legal Subcommittee.

📢 A highlight of the session was a high-level visit by UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed, who stated:

“Space is not the final frontier. It is the foundation of our present. Without satellites orbiting overhead right now, global food systems would collapse within weeks. Emergency responders would lose lifelines. Climate scientists would be flying blind. And our hopes of achieving the SDGs would be out of reach.

[The work of COPUOS] has never been more vital. We stand at the threshold of a potentially historic decision: UNISPACE IV in 2027. This could shape the next 60 years of global space governance. I encourage you to aim high—then aim higher.”

🌌 While the session is over, our mission continues. As part of the 2025 mid-term review of the #Space2030 Agenda, UNOOSA calls on States to submit:
a) space solutions for global challenges
b) capacity-building needs.
