International Affairs

The Space Foundation executes a broad program of global engagement across all our enterprises, including participation in the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, presenting at international conferences, hosting delegations and speakers, frequent interaction on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C., partnership with international organizations and educational institutions, supporting global corporate members and ensuring a significant global presence on the agenda and among the attendees of the National Space Symposium.

We frequently interact with embassies and dignitaries and analyze and release information on international space developments. We also include extensive data and analysis of worldwide space activity in our annual publication, The Space Report: The Authoritative Guide to Global Space Activity. And, we count many international space organizations among our more than 100 corporate partners and supporters.

The Space Foundation's National Space Symposium builds international understanding by presenting perspectives from across the international space community through speakers, panelists, exhibits and special international programs. The National Space Symposium attracts attendees from around the globe, frequently including both official and unofficial delegations representing military, government and private space organizations.

We participate in a broad range of space-related events outside the U.S. through conference attendance, presentation of papers, exhibits, presentations and speeches. We also arrange delegations to visit and study other nations' space endeavors and host delegations visiting the U.S.
