My name is Julia Thompson, and I am honored to be serving as the chair of UNOOSA. I’m from Berryville, VA and I’m majoring in aeronautics and astronautics with minors in biology, chemistry, computer science, political science, and symbolic systems. This is my fourth year of involvement in SMUNC, and I’m the captain of the Stanford Model UN travel team. In 2017, I staffed for the Trojan War JCC. I was an assistant to the secretary general in 2018, and I was the director of programming in 2019. This year, I decided to combine my passion for space with my love of Model UN to chair UNOOSA. This committee will focus on two key issues affecting the ability to continue and expand space exploration. The first is sustainability. This issue includes space debris, environmentally friendly launch vehicles, and planetary protection. How do current space programs ensure that opportunities in space remain available for future generations? Additionally, we will focus on inclusion in the space industry. Traditionally, nations like the USA, China, and USSR have been at the center of space exploration, and many others throughout the world either do not have a space program or have one with fewer resources.

Excellencies Ladies and gentlemen, In Algeria, the Algerian Space Programme, is a reference tool for space policy in supporting sustainable development. The Algerian Space Agency (ASAL), which is the government's space policy instrument, developed the national space programme, which focuses on four key priorities: 1. Implementation of Earth observation and telecommunications systems projects and participation in international satellite constellation projects; 2. Implementation of associated ground infrastructures to ensure the sustainability of the national space activity, 3. Mastering of space systems applications and services for socio- economic development and strengthening of national sovereignty. 4. Development of a human, material and infrastructure potential to ensure the sustainability of national space activity and its integration into an information society.
