As the world’s largest space conference, every year the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) brings together leaders in space from across the globe – heads of major space agencies, astronauts, senior space engineers and policy makers.

In 2017 we’ll be marking some important anniversaries of human endeavour in space.

  • The 60th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1
  • The 50th anniversary of the signing of the Outer Space Treaty (OST). The OST seeks to ensure that outer space remains accessible and available for the benefit of all humankind
  • The 50th anniversary of the launch of Australia’s first satellite, WRESAT
