The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs Director, Simonetta Di Pippo, leads the Office in implementing its unique mandate within the United Nations Secretariat to promote international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space.
Access to Space for All enables communities from all over the world to use and benefit from space technologies and applications thanks to the cooperation among established space actors, the United Nations and non or emerging space entities.
Space technology and its applications play an important role in supporting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Space4SDGs highlights how outer space can be used for monitoring and achieving the SDGs.
The International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG) has established an interoperable GNSS space service volume (SSV) that makes it possible to achieve nearly 100% GNSS signal availability at high altitudes through the interoperatility of GNSS constellations.
