Welcome to the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities Information Repository

The long-term sustainability of outer space activities is defined as the ability to maintain the conduct of space activities indefinitely into the future in a manner that realizes the objectives of equitable access to the benefits of the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes, in order to meet the needs of the present generations while preserving the outer space environment for future generations.
This open-source repository of information aims to build transparency, confidence and capacity in the area of the long-term sustainability of outer space activities and was developed by the United Nations in response to a direct request by States (see A/AC.105/1279, annex II).
