Astronomic diplomacy

Astronomical diplomacy, also known as astrodiplomacy, is about all diplomatic and international space-related activities. Astronomical diplomacy is less used than space diplomacy. The relevance of astronomical diplomacy follows the growing importance of space for global security and politics. Ultimately, astronomical diplomacy aims to establish international cooperation and agreements on the exploration and use of space.

Some critical aspects of astronomical diplomacy include:

International cooperation in space-related issues includes joint missions, satellite launches, and the sharing of data and resources.

Peaceful use of outer space for science and research is the main aim of international astronomical diplomacy.

Astronomical diplomacy organisations include the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the International Astronautical Federation (IAF).
