At number 7️⃣ of our #UNOOSATop10 highlights: the growing global membership of COPUOS! 🚀

2025 was a landmark year for international cooperation in space. 🇱🇻Latvia and 🇩🇯Djibouti took active roles in COPUOS after joining in 2024, reinforcing the Committee’s relevance across regions. Latvia also marked a key milestone by becoming the 116th State Party to the Outer Space Treaty.

🌍This momentum continued in June at the 68th session of COPUOS, which welcomed applications from six new Member States—🇨🇮Côte d’Ivoire, 🇬🇲The Gambia, 🇭🇳Honduras, 🇲🇹Malta, 🇲🇻Maldives, and 🇿🇼Zimbabwe—later confirmed at the UN General Assembly.

Plus, the Committee saw a surge in permanent observer requests and a record number of ad-hoc observer applications.

This wave of engagement reflects that more countries and organizations than ever are turning to space as a tool for development, climate action, disaster resilience, and global cooperation.

As COPUOS grows, so does our collective capacity to shape a safer, more sustainable, and inclusive future in space.🤝🌌
