For Day 4️⃣ at IAC2026antalya we’re sharing how UNOOSA and COPUOS have stepped up in recent years.🇺🇳 Director Aarti Holla-Maini updated the international space sector on:

📡 The work of the Expert Group on Space Situational Awareness in coordinating contact information for satellite operators and sharing information for collision risk analyses. The EG SSA is also deliberating a mechanism for states to discuss best practices. UNOOSA has already developed the UN Satellite Operator Contact Hub (UN SOCH - link in bio) to coordinate operators in case of collision risk.
 
🌔 The work of COPOUS in Lunar activities, including:
1️⃣ delivering draft principles for legal aspects of space resources to be negotiation in 2027;
2️⃣ the Action Team on Lunar Activities’ assessment of models of discussion;
3️⃣ the International Committee on GNSS’s development of expert practices on lunar positioning.
 
🌊On disaster management and climate resilience, UNOOSA is assisting States to become authorised users of the International Charter: Space and Major Disasters, AND bringing digital twins to Commonwealth nations, such as Tonga🇹🇴, Ghana🇬🇭, Trinidad & Tobago🇹🇹, and Brazil🇧🇷.

🚀🌌🇧🇸 We met states keen to kickstart their space ecosystems, space agencies, and international space treaties and national space laws.

🇺🇸 A meeting with commercegov, statedept and faa addressed a wide range of space issues, including SSA developments, integrating space activities into airspace frameworks, and making COPUOS a more efficient body for promoting international cooperation.

🇯🇵🇰🇪🇬🇹🇲🇺🇲🇩🇸🇻 A meeting with JAXAjp addressed the impact of the Access to Space for All #KiboCUBE programme, which has assisted Kenya, Guatemala, Mauritius, Moldova and the upcoming mission of El Salvador; along with JAXA-UNOOSA cooperation in a post-ISS era.

UNOOSA and MBRSpaceCentre launched a new call for applications for the third round of the Payload Hosting Initiative (PHI), which offers teams worldwide the opportunity to send innovative technologies into orbit. Applications for PHI-3 are open until 6 April 2027 (link in bio).
