The Project

The Awareness-raising and capacity-building related to the implementation of the Guidelines for the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities (LTS Guidelines) is a project of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA). The Project aims to showcase how the LTS Guidelines of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) can be implemented in a multi-stakeholder perspective in order to protect the Earth's limited orbital space environment and relevant space activities.
