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.

Development also required recognition by developed countries of the need for policy space and for assistance to developing countries.

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.

(d) Strengthening national capacity to create an enabling environment for the development, transfer and applications of information, communication and space technology for sustainable economic and social development

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

(g) Strengthening national capacity in human resource development for formulating policies and applications of information, communication and space technology

Provisions have been made for the development and introduction of new space technologies to supply information necessary for dealing with natural disasters

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

Space is for everybody and havoc in space means havoc for everybody.
