Events


  • The "Outer Space Treaty" is signed by more than sixty nations, the first and most foundational legal instrument of space law on Earth.
    Formally known as "Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies", it formed the basis of international space law on Earth.
    Key points included prohibiting nuclear weapons in space, limiting the use of Earth's moon, and all other surrounding celestial bodies, to peaceful purposes, establishing that space shall be freely explored and used by all nations,
    and preventing any nation from claiming sovereignty over outer space or any celestial body. It also declared that space was an area for free use and exploration by all, and "shall be the province of all [hu]mankind".


  • Probe "Venera 4" reaches Venus, and becomes the first spacecraft to measure the atmosphere of another planet.
