Every year, for one week in October, the globe unites in celebrating World Space Week, an international observance established by the United Nations in 1999 to commemorate the launch of Sputnik 1, the first human-made satellite, and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty. This event serves as an important reminder of the marvels of space exploration and the profound impact it has on our lives, shaping everything from our understanding of the universe to the technology in our pockets.
This year, the theme, ‘Space and Entrepreneurship’, resonates with an ever-growing importance. As the final frontier beckons with limitless opportunities, entrepreneurs worldwide are answering its call, ushering in a new era of innovation and possibilities. We’ve moved beyond the epoch where space exploration was solely the domain of nation-states. Today, private businesses, startups, and spirited entrepreneurs are increasingly playing pivotal roles in shaping the trajectory of space missions, satellite technologies, and even space tourism.
