Introduction The idea of creating a new International Space Agency (tentative title: hereinafter referred to ISA) is only my academic and practical opinion. It is necessary for us to establish ISA as an international organization for the efficient and rapid exploitation of natural resources in the moon, Mars and other celestial bodies. The establishment of ISA as a new international regime is based on the Article 11, 5 and Article 18 of the 1979 Moon Agreement. In order to establish as a preliminary procedure, it needs to make a “ Draft for the Convention on the Establishment of an International Space Agency” among the space- faring countries.

Not much is known about the satellite other than it will test new space technologies, including a new super- black coating to absorb stray light and improve the sensitivity of on-board optics. See VIDEO - The Long March 4B rocket carried the Shiyan 6 spacecraft into a polar orbit about 620 miles (1,000 km) above Earth, with an inclination of 99.5 degrees to the equator. - This is the third in a series of Shiyan 6-type satellites. The first two Shiyan 6 satellites launched on Long March 2D rockets from the Jiuquan space center in northwestern China in November 2018 and July 2020. The first two Shiyan 6 satellites were deployed at lower altitudes. - Shiyan means “experiment” in Shiyan 6 (01, 02 & 03) Orbits Chinese. - One of the technologies to be tested on the Shiyan 6 spacecraft is a new super-black coating designed to prevent stray light from disrupting optical cameras.
