Because all voices matter and every idea counts. The International Astronautical Federation (IAF) was founded in 1951 to promote dialogue and cooperation in a world divided by the Cold War and since then it has become the world leading space advocacy body. This huge success lies in the core structure of the federation: the IAF is led by its members for the members. We are making a difference worldwide because we are connecting members from all over the world into one place: the IAF. Following our motto “Connecting @ll Space People” and our vision of “A space-faring world cooperating for the benefit of humanity”, the Federation is advancing knowledge about space, and supporting the development and application of space assets by promoting global cooperation. For the past 70 years, the IAF has been actively encouraging the development of space activities for peaceful purposes and supporting the dissemination of scientific and technical information related to space. All these achievements have been possible thanks to the incredible work and commitment of our members. To facilitate the connections among us, please scroll through this booklet. You will find out who is behind the greatest space federation of all leading space agencies, industries, research institutions, Pascale Ehrenfreund universities, societies, associations, institutes and museums worldwide. President, IAF Contact us and find out how to join us! irst of all, I would like to thank you for being an active member of the International Astronautical Federation. I believe that every member Fcontributes directly to the growth and success of the IAF. For people like us, who have dedicated their entire career to Space, the IAF has a fundamental importance, that is represented by our members, the backbone of this Federations. The IAF’s achievements in supporting international cooperation over the past seven decades have been exceptional and as of today the Federation continues to build one of the world’s largest networks of space experts and decision-makers. This booklet is an appreciation to you, IAF members, who have helped to carve out the special place that the IAF has now. I hope that you are as proud as I am to be part of this community and I invite you to share your experience as members of the IAF all around you. For my part, during my past experience as President of the IAF and also today as Honorary Ambassador, I have had the honour to represent this Federation and to see it grow over the years. I am now more eager than ever to work to ensure that our Federation receives the worldwide recognition and appreciation it deserves. I am looking forward to supporting the IAF at any meeting that I will be attending in my other capacities and I am thrilled to dedicate my energies to further elevate the IAF’s name and position in the international arena, with the support of all of you! Jean-Yves Le Gall I hope that you will enjoy scrolling through this booklet! Honorary Ambassador, IAF t is my great pleasure, as the IAF Vice President for Global Membership Development, to present to you this brand-new publication from the IInternational Astronautical Federation (IAF). Since its founding in 1951 the IAF has put its best efforts in developing a network between space organizations all over the world, overcoming the walls and separations that were seemingly in place at the time. While those days have passed, the need to guarantee a platform where strong relationships and collaborations between countries can flourish is still much needed. Over the years, many different organizations have joined us in our shared goal, and become integral pillars of the Federation, which now counts more than 400 members from 71 different countries. The IAF Membership continues to grow every year, in line with our objective to bring space to all. We have launched the Membership Handbook for this reason, giving every member further visibility of the community that they are a part of. We hope this will encourage and create further opportunity for our members and the general public to reach out to those listed and get in touch with every IAF member. Thus, offering an additional opportunity to get to know your potential partners better. In addition to the opportunity to connect across our platforms, we provide a wide range of different benefits to all the IAF member organizations: from international visibility, to public acknowledgment of their achievements and Mohammed Nasser success; from economic benefits, to the chance of truly shaping the conversation about space.

    SPRING 2018 UNDERGRADUATE LAW JOURNAL The Final Frontier: Evolution of Space Law in a Global Society By: Garett Faulkender and Stephan Schneider Introduction “Space: the final frontier!” These are the famous introductory words spoken by William Shatner on every episode of Star Trek. This science-fiction TV show has gained a cult-following with its premise as a futuristic Space odyssey. Originally released in 1966, many saw the portrayed future filled with Space-travel, inter-planetary commerce and politics, and futuristic technology as merely a dream. However, today we are starting to explore this frontier. “We are entering an exciting era in [S]pace where we expect more advances in the next few decades than throughout human history.”1 Bank of America/Merrill Lynch has predicted that the Space industry will grow to over $2.7 trillion over the next three decades. Its report said, “a new raft of drivers is pushing the ‘Space Age 2.0’”.2 Indeed, this market has seen start-up investments in the range of $16 billion,3 helping fund impressive new companies like Virgin Galactic and SpaceX. There is certainly a market as Virgin Galactic says more than 600 customers have registered for a $250,000 suborbital trip, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Ashton Kutcher, and physicist Stephen Hawking.4 Although Space-tourism is the exciting face of a future in Space, the Space industry has far more to offer.

    Sixty Years of Australia in Space

    Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, vol. 153, part 1, 2020, pp. 46–57. ISSN 0035-9173/20/010046-12 Sixty years of Australia in space Kerrie Dougherty Space Humanities Department, International Space University, Strasbourg, France Email: [email protected] Abstract Australia’s involvement in space activities commenced in 1957, at the beginning of the Space Age, with space tracking and sounding rocket launches at Woomera. By 1960, Australia was considered one of the leading space-active nations and in 1967 became one of the earliest countries to launch its own satellite. Yet by 1980, Australia’s space prominence had dwindled, with the country lacking both a national space agency and a coherent national space policy. Despite attempts in the latter part of the 1980s to develop an Australian space industry, the lack of a coherent and consistent national space policy and an effective co-ordinating body, left Australia constantly “punching below its weight” in global space activities until the Twenty First Century. This paper will briefly examine the often-contradictory history of Australian space activities from 1957 to the announcement of the Australian Space Agency in 2017, providing background and context for the later papers in this issue. Introduction Launchpad: the Woomera or 60,000 years the Indigenous people of Rocket Range FAustralia have looked to the sky, using “If the Woomera Range did not already exist, the stars to determine their location, find the proposal that Australia should engage in their way across the land and mark the a program of civil space research would be passage of the seasons and the best times unrealistic”.

Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 83-600624 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 Foreword As the other major spacefaring nation, the Soviet Union is a subject of interest to the American people and Congress in their deliberations concerning the future of U.S. space activities. In the course of an assessment of Civilian Space Stations, the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) has undertaken a study of the presence of Soviets in space and their Salyut space stations, in order to provide Congress with an informed view of Soviet capabilities and intentions. The major element in this technical memorandum was a workshop held at OTA in December 1982: it was the first occasion when a significant number of experts in this area of Soviet space activities had met for extended unclassified discussion. As a result of the workshop, OTA prepared this technical memorandum, “Salyut: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space. ” It has been reviewed extensively by workshop participants and others familiar with Soviet space activities. Also in December 1982, OTA wrote to the U. S. S. R.’s Ambassador to the United States Anatoliy Dobrynin, requesting any information concerning present and future Soviet space activities that the Soviet Union judged could be of value to the OTA assess- ment of civilian space stations.
