World Space Week is the largest public space event on Earth. Last year more than 1,800 events in 73 countries celebrated the achievements and excitement of space exploration.

This year World Space Week is all about remote sensing and celebrates the beauty of planet Earth from space, the satellites that make our lives easier and more fun, and the unmanned missions to other worlds that help us unravel the mysteries of the Solar System.
