Develop effective multilaterally negotiated measures to prevent an arms race in outer space

(iii) Mobilization of financial resources to develop capacity in space science and technology applications

(ii) Mobilization of financial resources to develop capacity in space science and technology applications

The time has come to develop transparency and build confidence in matters related to outer space.

Obviously, devising confidence building measures in outer space activities cannot replace efforts to develop a legally binding instrument to prevent the placement of weapons in outer space.

To secure lasting peace, the key is to develop political mechanisms that allow space for moderation and democracy.

To face this problem, we need to patch up the international legal system on outer space, in particular we need to ensure that we develop a comprehensive regime preventing weaponization of outer space and an arms race in outer space.

We have already stated that at present and for the near future the Russian Federation has no plans to develop any space weapon systems, or deploy them in space.

The Subcommittee had also made significant progress on space debris mitigation, having agreed on a two year workplan to develop a document based on the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines.

In conclusion, it was important to consider the evolution of space activities and how the Committee could develop a long term plan to enhance international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space.

Steps are being taken to modernize existing launch vehicles and to develop more advanced ones in order to guarantee reliable access to space exploration.

ESA was playing an important role it had cooperated with the European Union to develop Galileo and GMES, and continued to promote the development of European space activities based on the common European strategy for space.

It was never used again after the first flight instead the Soviet Union continued to develop space stations using the Soyuz craft as the crew shuttle.

In addition, ASEAN was pleased with its emerging cooperation with India and hoped to develop a medium term work programme with India on space technology cooperation.

And instead of using human figures to develop ideas of time and space, I work in the mineral world. I work with more or less inert matter.

Scientific curiosity, given sufficient space and autonomy, remains the most powerful driving force behind the completely unforeseeable transformations in how our societies develop.

According to the workplan, the Subcommittee will, at its forty third session, hear presentations on possible bilateral or multilateral projects to develop further space based telemedicine applications through international cooperation.

Developing countries should be accorded policy space to develop their own strategies tailored to their developmental needs, within a framework that provides for accountability, transparency and integrity in the system.

Notes with satisfaction that the Committee agreed to consider, at its forty ninth session, under its agenda item Other matters , the evolution of space activities and how to develop a long term plan to strengthen the role of the Committee in international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space

COPUOS could count on his delegation's full support in its efforts to prevent the militarization and weaponization of outer space and develop a comprehensive and effective legal mechanism in that regard.

Lastly, if regional and local interests are to develop without undermining national solidarity, it is essential to provide a legitimate and autonomous political space that is not vulnerable to the repressive tendencies of central authority.

From 2003 to 2006, one objective of the Working Group on the Use of Nuclear Power Sources in Outer Space was to develop an international technically based framework of goals and recommendations for the safety of space nuclear power source applications, in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

A programme to develop launch vehicles from converted military missiles within the framework of the Start, Rokot and Dnepr projects was started with a view to ensuring the launching of light weight space satellites.

The Power to Develop

Space Adventures remains the only company to have sent paying passengers to space.

One asks how long we will sit back for while other countries continue to build up and develop their arsenals and weapon stocks and another wonders why Saudi Arabia doesn't have its own space programme.

Furthermore, under its 2005 2007 national programme for the development of space activities, it had begun to build domestic spacecraft, and planned to develop a national geostationary communications and rebroadcasting satellite, KAZSAT, by the end of the year.

The project will assist national policymakers and policy shapers to develop the knowledge and skills to integrate macroeconomic and social goals in policy formulation and better utilize available national policy space to pursue development goals in the face of external shocks.

Session One The new space age weapons, developments and challenges to space security

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.

Resources weren't there to develop them.

Urge UNESCO to develop and implement

Work to develop a competition culture.

National research on space debris, safety of space objects with nuclear power sources on board and problems relating to their collision with space debris

Before hyperbolic geometry, mathematicians knew about two kinds of space Euclidean space, and spherical space.

Where an aerospace object is destined to serve outer space activities, it should be subject to space law.

For example, in response to the increasing commercialization of outer space, the Office for Outer Space Affairs should continue its yearly workshops on space law.

And so, to fix this third problem, I think we need slowly, carefully, with ethical wisdom and constraint develop the means that enable us to go out in this larger space and explore it and find the great values that might hide there.

Lastly, it had discussed the work of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications and he was pleased to note that the Programme was stepping up its efforts to help countries develop and implement new projects as a follow up to various programme activities.

It was the second of the series to be launched into space, following the Hubble Space Telescope.

43. Endorses the decision of the Committee to grant permanent observer status to the European Association for the International Space Year, the National Space Society and the Space Generation Advisory Council

Space

The Subcommittee agreed that Member States and regional space agencies should again be invited to provide reports on national research on space debris, safety of space objects with nuclear power sources (NPS) on board and problems relating to their collision with space debris.

Programs US Space Shuttle Although its pace slowed, space exploration continued after the end of the Space Race.

Many questions have been raised, including a possible distinction between weaponization and militarization of outer space, and definitions of technical terms, such as  outer space , space weapon , space object and peaceful use of outer space .
