His flight, on 12 April 1961, lasted 108 minutes as he circled Earth for a little more than one orbit in the Soviet Union’s Vostok 1 spacecraft. • The United States’ Apollo 11 blasted off on 16 July 1969, with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins on board. Four days later, Armstrong became the first human to step on the Moon. He and Aldrin walked around for nearly three hours. They did experiments, picked up bits of Moon dirt and rocks, and placed the US flag and a sign on the Moon, before returning to Earth safely on 24 July 1969.

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.

  • Comparing Space Sectors Down Under Nicholas Borroz
    FEATURE Comparing Space Sectors Down Under NICHOLAS BORROZ n the last decade, the global space sector has grown dramatically. Part of this growth has been fueled by the privatization of the space sector. Unlike during the Cold War, nowadays private firms, not just governments, are taking lead- Iing roles in space activity. Investors are channeling significant funds into private business, and in 2019 space firms raised $5.8 billion USD over 198 investment rounds.1 The largest new space firm, SpaceX, has launched 350 satellites to low Earth orbit to start creating Starlink, its constellation to provide satellite-based Internet.2 Growth is being spurred not just by privatization but also by geographic diversification; the number of countries involved in space activity is growing be- yond the traditional space powers. Global launch attempts increased 39 percent in the last decade, and 82 countries now have satellites in orbit.3 Thirteen govern- ments have established space agencies in the last decade.4 Two countries have made particularly dramatic strides: Australia and New Zealand. Australia’s space sector recently crossed the $5 billion AUD revenue mark.5 New Zealand’s space sector is smaller at $1.69 billion NZD, but this is still impressive given the sector doubled in size between 2018 and 2019.6 Both coun- tries recently established space agencies—New Zealand in 2016 and Australia in 2018. New Zealand’s space sector is notably defined by its hosting a successful up- and- coming launch-services firm called Rocket Lab—the firm launched
