Festival background

1957 After the Soviet Union launched the first man-made earth satellite, the outer space issue attracted great attention from the international community. Outer space is the fourth largest field of human existence and development besides land, sea and sky.

From 65438 to 0959, the United Nations established the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which formulated the legal framework for space activities. At the same time, China is also committed to strengthening international space technology research and promoting international cooperation.

Under the leadership of the United Nations, countries adopted the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, namely the Outer Space Treaty of 1966.

Since then, the United Nations has adopted four international conventions regulating outer space and five related principles, which provide a policy framework for the international community to manage outer space.
