The United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) and the Rwanda Space Agency (RSA) finalised a framework cooperation agreement to leverage geo-information technologies for sustainable development. Under the agreement, UNOSAT and the RSA will join efforts in utilising satellite imagery and geospatial data for various purposes, amongst which disaster management, environmental monitoring, urban planning, and sustainable development initiatives.

The Regional Support Offices Meeting 2023 was conducted and organised by UN-SPIDER at the premises of the VIC in Vienna. It was held back-to-back with the 66th Session of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS).

Scientists at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are testing a novel approach to detect tsunamis by the rumble they make in the atmosphere.The new hazard-monitoring technology, called GUARDIAN (GNSS Upper Atmospheric Real-time Disaster Information and Alert Network), uses GPS signals to go wave-hunting in the Pacific Ring of Fire.

UNOOSA's Annual Reports describe the Office's work in promoting international cooperation for the peaceful use and exploration of space, and in the use of space science and technology for sustainable economic and social development. They also illustrate statistics and provide key facts about UNOOSA.

The Annual Reports function not only as an activities report to the members of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, but also as an awareness-raising tool for UN member states and the public.
