What Are Your Plans for World Space Week 2010?

World Space Week is the best time every year to get your space-related messages to the public, students, teachers, employees, government, the media, and other audiences.

To participate, simply schedule space-related programs during October 4-10,  promote them as part of World Space Week, and enter them in the global calendar.  In doing so, you would join organizations in over 50 nations.  With each new event, all participants benefit from the increased global attention to space during that week.

World Space Week National Coordinators can receive free copies of the poster thanks to a grant from the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs. 

The poster is imprinted in the six official UN languages. The artwork without text is also available for use where other languages are spoken.
