The delegation notes with appreciation that UNCOPUOS, under the mandate of the General Assembly, continues to contribute significantly towards capacity building for sustainable development, and strengthening international co-operation to utilise outer space for peaceful purposes towards serving the humanity. The Indian Delegation also expresses its full satisfaction at the work carried out by the two sub-committees of UNCOPUOS, the Scientific and Technical Sub-committee at its 48th session and the Legal Sub- committee at its 50th session. Madam Chair While acknowledging the significant achievements of various member states in space endeavors during the last one year, the Indian delegation desires to brief the Assembly on the significant achievements made by India in the field of space since the last Session. On April 20, 2011, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV C-16) precisely placed RESOURCESAT-2 and two auxiliary satellites namely YOUTHSAT and X-SAT into their intended orbits. RESOURCESAT-2 is augmenting the multispectral imaging capability of India as a follow-on mission to RESOURCESAT-1. YOUTHSAT is a small satellite built with participation of the Moscow State University; and X-SAT is a small satellite built by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) with ISRO’s support.
