UNOOSA serves as the secretariat for the General Assembly's only committee dealing exclusively with international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space: the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS). UNOOSA is also responsible for implementing the Secretary-General's responsibilities under international space law and maintaining the United Nations Register of Objects Launched into Outer Space. Through the United Nations Programme on Space Applications, UNOOSA conducts international workshops, training courses and pilot projects on topics that include remote sensing, satellite navigation, satellite meteorology, tele-education and basic space sciences for the benefit of developing nations. It also maintains a 24-hour hotline as the United Nations focal point for satellite imagery requests during disasters and manages the United Nations Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (UN-SPIDER). UNOOSA is the current secretariat of the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG).

Europe Although some countries in Europe have a highly developed scientific and technological sector for their historic political and economic rivalries none of them could have developed an aerospace sector that would play a significant role on a global scale. The creation of a community of European countries has inevitably followed by the unification of aerospace efforts, profiled in the Airbus and Aeronautics Sector (ESA), to be important factor globally. ESA (European Space Agency) http://www.esa.int/ESA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Space_Agency Membership After the decision of the ESA Council of 21/22 March 2001, the procedure for accession of the European states was detailed as described the document titled "The Plan for European Co- operating States (PECS)". Nations that want to become a full member of ESA do so in 3 stages. First a Cooperation Agreement is signed between the country and ESA. In this stage, the country has very limited financial responsibilities. If a country wants to co-operate more fully with ESA, it signs a European Cooperating State (ECS) Agreement. The ECS Agreement makes companies based in the country eligible for participation in ESA procurements. The country can also participate in all ESA programmes, except for the Basic Technology Research Programme. While the financial contribution of the country concerned increases, it is still much lower than that of a full member state. The agreement is normally followed by a Plan For European Cooperating State (or PECS Charter). This is a 5-year programme of basic research and development activities aimed at improving the nation's space industry capacity. At the end of the 5-year period, the country can either begin negotiations to become a full member state or an associated state or sign a new PECS Charter. Many countries, most of which joined the EU in both 2004 and 2007, have started to co-operate with ESA on various levels. Subsidiaries Headquarters ESA has its headquarters in Paris. The Director General and cabinet have their offices here, as do some of the ESA Programme Directors. The decisions that shape ESA’s present and future activities are made here. Access the Site ESTEC The European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, is the largest ESA establishment, a test centre and hub for European space activities, responsible for the technical preparation and management of ESA space projects and providing technical support to ESA’s satellite, space exploration and human spaceflight activities. Access the Site ESOC The European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, ensures the smooth working of spacecraft in orbit. Its control rooms, linked to ground stations all over the world, track and control satellites, and carry out payload operations and routine systems monitoring. Access the Site ESRIN ESA’s centre for Earth observation in Frascati, near Rome, manages the ground segment for ESA and third-party Earth observation satellites, maintaining the largest archive of environmental data in Europe and coordinating over 20 ground stations and ground segment facilities in Europe. It also hosts the project team managing the Vega small-launcher programme. Access the Site EAC The European Astronaut Centre located in Cologne, Germany, is a training facility and home base for all European astronauts. It is a centre of excellence for astronaut training and medical support. Access the Site ESAC The European Space Astronomy Centre, at Villanueva de la Cañada, near Madrid in Spain, hosts the scientific operations centres for ESA's astronomy and planetary missions, along with their scientific archives. It provides services to astronomical research projects worldwide. Access the Site Guiana Space Centre (CSG) Kourou, in French Guiana, is Europe’s gateway to space. Covering over 96 000 hectares, CSG is ideally sited for launching satellites, in particular because it is close to the equator. ESA is the owner of the launch and launcher production facilities and finances a significant part of the fixed costs of the launch base. Access the Site Redu Centre ESA's Redu Centre in Belgium is responsible for controlling and testing a range of satellites as part of ESA’s ground station network. It is also home to the Space Weather Data Centre (as part of the ESA's Space Situational Awareness Preparatory Programme). Access the Site ECSAT The European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications, in Harwell, Oxfordshire, UK, is supporting activities related to telecommunications, integrated applications, climate change, technology and science. Access the Site National space organisations of member states The Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) (National Centre for Space Study) is the French government space agency (administratively, a "public establishment of industrial and commercial character"). Its headquarters are in central Paris. CNES is the main participant on the Ariane project. Indeed, CNES designed and tested all Ariane family rockets (mainly from its centre in Évry near Paris) The UK Space Agency is a partnership of the UK government departments which are active in space. Through the UK Space Agency, the partners provide delegates to represent the UK on the various ESA governing bodies. Each partner funds its own programme. The Italian Space Agency (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana or ASI) was founded in 1988 to promote, co-ordinate and conduct space activities in Italy. Operating under the Ministry of the Universities and of Scientific and Technological Research, the agency cooperates with numerous

  • X103 H-IIB Launch Vehicle H-IIBロケット
    Outdoor Exhibition Outdoor X103 H-IIB Launch Vehicle H-IIBロケット ■Purpose of Exhibition The domestically produced large rocket "H-IIB" is exhibited in the outdoor exhibition space. Most of this rocket has the same structure as the real rocket and served as a test. You can find the real parts in the chart including the first stage engine section, the first stage fuel tank, the center body section, the interstage adapter and the fairing, which are exhibited in the exhibition. The rest of the parts were made by referring to the actual rocket. When the rocket "H-IIB" is launched, two other main engines and four fixed rocket boosters are attached to the rocket. You can see the inside structure because the tank part is cut off. For making a light but strong rocket, it is manufactured like a honeycomb. For pouring low temperature liquid- hydrogen into the tank, the exterior of the rocket is coated by a thermal material. The rocket which is exhibited is also coated by using the same thermal material. Like this, the rockets were made by using the latest manufacturing technology and design techniques. We would like you to learn the structure of rocket and feel how big it is. ■Additional Knowledge Space Station had succeeded. The Japanese high- launching technology which put the rocket into the planned orbit accurately, and the connecting technology which controlled the HTV delicately and connected to the International Space Station in outer space, has been shown to the world. [The Other Rockets Exhibition in Japan] There are rocket exhibitions in regions where JAXA developed space technology (as of 2010).The Tanegashima Space Center is where the JAXA Research Institute is located in Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture.
