This International Day of Human Spaceflight, we celebrate a historic milestone: congratulations to the Artemis II astronauts on their successful return to Earth! 👏👏

65 years ago, Yuri Gagarin became the first human being to fly into space. 🧑‍🚀

The Artemis II mission marks a renewed era of exploration, bringing us back to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years, and reigniting global interest in what space can achieve for humanity.

Human spaceflight is not just about exploration. It also helps us solve challenge on Earth through:
⚕️ Advances in science and medicine
🌱 Technologies that support sustainable development and climate action
🌐 Stronger international cooperation through platforms like COPUOS

UNOOSA works to ensure space remains safe, sustainable, and accessible, for astronauts and for all of us who rely on space every day.

“Space is no longer science fiction, but an important part of all our lives and our economy,” says Professor Brian Cox (profbriancox), UN Champion for Space.
