🇺🇳 This year's #COPUOS2024 session marked a step change in the engagement with the space sector on issues of space governance, recognising the value of expert-driven discussions on active debris removal, space sustainability, space traffic coordination, and more. 🤝   🆕️👥 COPUOS agreed to formally admit Space Data Association, the GSOA (the Global Satellite Operators Association), Space Renaissance International, Outer Space Institute and the African Astronomical Society as observers.   UNOOSA Director Aarti Holla-Maini said: “The participation of stakeholders from across the space sector informs international negotiations on the scientific, technological and legal aspects of space governance. Space has for some years now, no longer been solely State-driven. Innovative and scalable solutions developed by the private sector along with a wealth of knowledge and operational experience exist and must be leveraged in the service of maintaining and increasing sustainable access to space data, technology and services. #UNOOSA will continue to engage the private sector through initiatives such as the UN Space Bridge, the World Space Forum, and COPUOS to ensure governance and actions are driven & informed by the latest knowledge and information available.” 🌐   👉 For the full list of 50+ observers (International Organisations, International Non-governmental Organisations, industry, etc), check out: https://lnkd.in/gf_SCg8K
