Annual celebration
It is worth noting that World Space Week is an annual event celebrated globally since its first launch in 1999. It is organised by the International Space Federation (ISF) in cooperation with the United Nations. This week marks the anniversary of the launch of the world's first satellite (Sputnik 1) on October 4, 1957, and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty on October 10, 1967, linking the event to the history of humanity's most significant achievements in space exploration.
