On October 10, President Shavat Mirziyoyev signed a law sealing Uzbekistan’s agreement on the activities of states on the exploration and use of outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies.
The Outer Space Treaty was signed on January 27, 1967, by London, Moscow, and Washington. Since then, 115 countries have joined this agreement, and a further 22 have yet to ratify it.
According to the CIS countries’ rules, the Interstate Space Council chair is transferred among the participating countries in alphabetical order. Following Tajikistan, Uzbekistan will take the lead from 2024 to 2025.
To this end, the Uzbekkosmos agency has announced a series of events in celebration of World Space Week, scheduled to take place in Uzbekistan in collaboration with NASA. This global event, commemorated in nearly 100 countries, was established by a UN General Assembly resolution in 1999 in recognition of the importance of space exploration.
