Space technology also served sustainable development.

It is responsible for the national space program and for planning and development of space activities.

The European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) is the European Space Agency's main technology development and test centre for spacecraft and space technology.

Space related outcomes of the World Summit on Sustainable Development.

However, the development of space weapons is not our choice.

It has emerged against the background of greater US space capability superiority, wider application of space based assets and the development of a commercial space industry.

Notes that space science and technology and their applications could make important contributions to economic, social and cultural development and welfare, as indicated in the resolution entitled The Space Millennium Vienna Declaration on Space and Human Development 2

While the European Space Agency advocates the peaceful development of space assets and the peaceful use of space. There is an underlying contradiction between the EU space policy and the NATO space defence policy that needs to be addressed.

Brochure entitled Space solutions for the world's problems how the United Nations family is using space technology for sustainable development .

Research and development for space weapons is also being carried out.

D. Space related outcomes of the World Summit on Sustainable Development

Ensuring the security of space would be furthered with the development of transparency and confidence building measures in our space activities.

COPUOS should maintain its leading role in efforts to enhance space activities for peaceful purposes and the development of space law.

(b) Intergovernmental organizations African Development Bank, European Commission and European Space Agency (ESA)

Session one provided insights into the current trends in the development of space technology and how these affect both international cooperation and space security.

Preparation of a revised brochure entitled Space solutions for the world's problems how the United Nations family is using space technology for sustainable development

On policy space, a specific output had been included under subprogramme 2 relating to space for development policies, especially to enhance productive capacity and competitiveness .

China s leaders recognize that their country needs time, space, and peace for economic development.

Due to the emerging new military concepts and theories such as control of space and occupation of space as well as the research and development of space weapons programs, the growing benefits derived by communities worldwide from space technologies would be harmed.

This pop phenomenon paralleled the development of space technology in the 20th century and introduced Americans to outer space as a familiar environment for swashbuckling adventure.

The Subcommittee noted that the development of space system based telemedicine was focusing on two areas remote medicine and support for long duration manned space missions.

Mr. Kazykhanov (Kazakhstan) said that the use of outer space and the application of space technologies to promote sustainable development were important areas for international cooperation.

We must make use of available policy space to devise our own strategies for development.

(k) Toxicity development of a system of rapid monitoring of water toxicity during space flight

The international community must mobilize resources to ensure that space technology was used to promote development and to implement the Millennium Development Goals, and should concentrate not only on preventing the weaponization of outer space but also on ensuring greater access to space technologies and their benefits, including dual use technologies.

The Union is actively engaged in civilian space programmes and depends increasingly on outer space for its economic and industrial development as well as for its security.

Also agrees that the Director of the Office for Outer Space Affairs should participate in the sessions of the Commission on Sustainable Development to raise awareness and promote the benefits of space science and technology for sustainable development

42. Also agrees that the Director of the Office for Outer Space Affairs should participate in the sessions of the Commission on Sustainable Development to raise awareness and promote the benefits of space science and technology for sustainable development

Such a development would not only exacerbate unimaginably the threat of space debris but would seriously undermine international efforts to ensure the continued peaceful use of outer space.

The most important feature of international cooperation in enabling space NPS and applying them in space programmes could be to set up joint development, production and exploitation projects.

The Russian Federation's space capabilities ensure a complete cycle of space activities from the development and design of space facilities to obtaining the results required to meet the country's needs and its effective operation on the world market.

The following technical presentation on the subject of the use of NPS in outer space was made to the Subcommittee Space nuclear power source technology development pathways for enabling future space exploration , by the representative of the United States.

However, political willingness is not enough to maintain outer space peaceful, and needs to be combined with legal binding instruments to restrict the development and deployment of space weapons.

He was nevertheless concerned by the continuing existence of programmes for the militarization of space and the use of outer space for purposes that were incompatible with global development and peace.

Mexico attaches great importance to efforts directed at preventing the militarization of space and promoting international cooperation for the peaceful use of outer space, in view of the considerable benefits which space technology has brought to the development of the international community.

Consequently, UNCTAD had to speak with one voice the voice of development to ensure that developing countries had the policy space to pursue their development strategies.

Space based technologies play an increasingly critical role in the maintenance and development of national and international infrastructures.

Space assets should be used to promote rather than undermine the peace, welfare and development of the world.

The development of aerospace technology might necessitate the amendment of prevailing norms of international air and space law.

The Vienna Declaration on Space and Human Development referred to the need for better coordination of NEO research.

It attached special importance to the development of strategies aimed at minimizing the possible consequences of space debris.

That is because ESA member States do not have their own development and production facilities for space NPS.

Mr. Abiodun (Chairman of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space) gave a presentation on Contributions of space science and technology, to sustainable development challenges , which he illustrated with slides.

The proposed entity could also help achieve universal access to space data, spreading the benefits across the globe and supporting the development of standards for delivery of space based data and services.
