World Space Week Rocket Revolution
From reusable launch systems to missions bound for the Moon and Mars, rocket technology is rewriting how humanity reaches, studies and lives with space. Join schools, colleges and space enthusiasts across Pakistan this October as we celebrate the science, technology and innovation propelling us into a new era of exploration.
World Space Week
World Space Week (WSW) is a global celebration of space science, technology, exploration, and their contributions to the advancement of humanity. Observed annually from October 4 to 10, World Space Week provides an opportunity for people around the world to discover the importance of space and its growing role in our everyday lives.
Proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999, World Space Week commemorates two significant milestones in the history of space exploration. On October 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 became the first human-made satellite to orbit Earth, marking the beginning of the Space Age. On October 10, 1967, the Outer Space Treaty entered into force, establishing fundamental principles for the peaceful exploration and use of outer space.
