The United Nations and Outer Space
Launch of Sputnik 1 on 4 October 1957marks the beginning of the space age
In response to concerns over an arms race in outer space, the fair sharing of space benefits and the need for regulating outer space activities, the UN General Assembly establishes the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) in 1958
Serviced by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs

Treaties
Outer Space Treaty, Article 1
“The exploration and use of outer space, including the moon
and other celestial bodies, shall be carried out for the benefit
and in the interests of all countries, irrespective of their
degree of economic or scientific development, and shall be
the province of all mankind.
Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies,
shall be free for exploration and use by all States without
discrimination of any kind, on a basis of equality and in
accordance with international law, and there shall be free
access to all areas of celestial bodies.
There shall be freedom of scientific investigation in outer
space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, and
States shall facilitate and encourage international co-
operation in such investigation.”
