NASDA conducted two space experiments using the Russian space station MIR in 1997.

Developing space technologies for environmental protection.

(i) Space experiments and utilization of the space environment

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 major objectives of JEM are to contribute to the development and utilization, to the fullest possible extent, of space science and Earth observation to foster the use of the space environment to promote the general progress of science and technology and thereby to enhance the quality of life for all.

COPUOS should play a greater role in promoting international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space, strengthening the international legal order in space, stimulating scientific and technological progress in the developing countries and helping them to share in the spin off benefits of space technology.

1. Activities undertaken in 1995 in the area of the peaceful uses of outer space

Access to space technology was beneficial to all countries, particularly the developing ones, but in their case it was hampered by lack of funds.

His country apos s fundamental long term policy on space activities, as revised in January 1996, was that Japan would develop its indigenous technology and utilize the results of its space activities for the promotion of space development internationally and that international space cooperation must be conducted in a well organized and stable manner in order to ensure mutual benefits.

INDIA India continues to make progress in the development and application of space technology for rapid socio economic development of the country.

At the 620th meeting, the Expert on Space Applications made a statement outlining the activities carried out and planned under the United Nations Programme on Space Applications.

VICOS will also be used in the development of the American and Russian elements of the Space Station.

The joint Soviet Syrian space mission started on 22 July 1987 and continued for nine days, using the SOYUZ MIR space complex.

Such prevention is an essential condition for the strengthening of strategic stability and for the promotion of international cooperation in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes.

In 1996, ISU began offering an 11 month Masters of Space Studies graduate degree programme. The topics covered the whole range of space activities, including space law, space sciences, space engineering, space life sciences, space informatics, space applications and space and society.

The activities the Canadian Space Program undertakes in human space flight, Earth observation, satellite communications, space science, and space technology development ensure that Canada makes an important contribution to the global space knowledge base and that space is used to generate socio economic benefits for Canadians and humanity in general.

(a) Current international space law (the five treaties on space and the five sets of principles) fully satisfies the requirements for the development of the exploration and use of space at the present time

The Office for Outer Space Affairs continues to issue the Monthly Survey of Selected Events in the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space to provide information on worldwide space activities in various fields.

China had also started to use retrievable space platforms for rice and wheat breeding experiments in the micro gravity environment of space.

B. Activities in the field of space exploration and peaceful uses of outer space

travelling through outer space and of using its aerodynamic properties to remain

We want space efficiency.

In the near term future, the highest priority will be given to scientific uses of ISS, including experiments in telecommunications, Earth observation applications, microgravity research (technology development, life sciences etc.) and basic space sciences.

In particular, the Committee agreed that the United Nations Programme on Space Applications could play an important role in assisting developing countries in strengthening their capabilities in related space technologies and applications.

The open initiative of UNESCO, conducted jointly with space agencies, on the use of space technology for monitoring World Heritage and natural sites is developing well.

COMMUNICATIONS, AS WELL AS OTHER QUESTIONS RELATING TO SPACE COMMUNICATIONS DEVELOPMENTS, TAKING

The United States Space Foundation had, as one of its objectives, the aim of inspiring students and enhancing learning by using space science and technology.

Furthermore, organizations within the United Nations system continue to collaborate with the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) to support space research activities of scientists from developing countries.

4.2 Through the United Nations Programme on Space Applications, the Office for Outer Space Affairs contributed to the strengthening of indigenous capability of developing countries in the utilization of space technology and its applications and led international efforts to establish regional centres for space science and technology education.

Observations from the Space Flyer Unit launched in March 1995 were carried out.

In this respect, UNESCO will introduce the use of space technology for environmental monitoring.

Mr. Khudair (Iraq) said that COPUOS had assumed an important role in focusing on the peaceful use of outer space and the harnessing of space technology to improve conditions on Earth, particularly where implementation of the Vienna Declaration on Space and Human Development and the recommendations of UNISPACE III was concerned.
