World Space Week 2019
World Space Week (WSW) is an annual holiday observed from 4 to 10 October in various parts of the world, including Europe and Asia. World Space Week is officially defined as “an international celebration of science and technology, and their contribution to the betterment of the human condition”.
The United Nations and World Space Week
The United Nations General Assembly in 1999 declared October 4-10 annually as World Space Week. This declaration was recommended by the UNISPACE-III conference held in Vienna, Austria earlier that year.
Today, the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs in Vienna provides the overall global coordination of World Space Week, under the guidance of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, and with the support of World Space Week Association, a non-government organization. Together, they encourage the broadest possible participation in World Space Week by organizations globally.
The UN Office of Outer Space Affairs performs various World Space Week functions, including:
Conducting special programs during World Space Week
Publishing World Space Week Annual Reports
Representing the UN on the Board of Directors of World Space Week Association
Funding distribution of World Space Week Posters to National Coordinators

History
On December 6, 1999, The United Nations General Assembly declared World Space Week as an annual event celebration to be commemorated between October 4 and 10. The choice of dates was based on recognition of two important dates in space history: the launch of the first human-made Earth satellite, Sputnik 1, on October 4, 1957; and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty on October 10, 1967.
World Space Week is the largest annual space event in the world.] In 2017, World Space Week was celebrated with over 3,700 events in 80 countries. Events included school activities, exhibitions, government events, and special activities at planetaria around the world.
Annual themes
Each year, a theme for World Space Week is established by the Board of Directors of World Space Week Association.
Under the theme “Exploring New Worlds in Space”, many events of World Space Week 2017 focused on plans for human exploration of space and recent discoveries of Earth-like planets in nearby solar systems. In 2018, the theme for World Space Week was “Space Unites the World”. This in part recognizes the historic UNISPACE+50 gathering to be held in Vienna this year.
Activities and observances
The World Space Week Association is a non-government, non-profit organization, which is supported by national coordinators in over 50 nations. It is led by an all volunteer Board of Directors including Buzz Aldrin, Bill Nye, Tom Hanks, Elon Musk, Dorin-Dumitru Prunariu, Max Grimard, Lisa LaBonte, and space leaders from around the world. Its goals are to educate people around the world about the benefits that they receive from space, encourage use of space for sustainable economic development, foster enthusiastic education and interest in science and cooperation between nations through space outreach and education.
The association provides resources for educators in grade K-12.
A Calendar of Events from nations celebrating World Space Week is available.

A Era Espacial – Semana Mundial do Espaço 2019
De 4 a 10 de Outubro comemora-se a Semana Mundial do Espaço 2019! E o Planetário do Porto – Centro Ciência Viva não poderia deixar passar a oportunidade de abrir as suas portas e recebê-lo para comemorar connosco. Dia 5 de Outubro venha lançar foguetões, ouvir um debate sobre o Espaço, com a cientista-astronauta Ana Pires, e assistir à estreia do novo filme imersivo “O Despertar da Era Espacial”. Uma oportunidade para partilhar com a família uma tarde diferente, onde o Espaço será personagem principal.
O setor do Espaço tem, por vezes sem nos apercebermos, uma grande influência no nosso dia-a-dia. De uma forma direta, é usado para detecção de incêndios, avaliação de recursos naturais, sistemas de geolocalização, previsão meteorológica, ou indiretamente, através da transferência de tecnologia que está nos telemóveis, eletrodomésticos, vestuário técnico, ou mesmo no acesso à internet.
Em 2000, com a adesão à Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA), Portugal passou a desempenhar um papel mais ativo no desenvolvimento de missões espaciais e novas tecnologias para a ESA, com benefícios diretos para a indústria e a economia nacional.
Em 2019, foi criada a Agência Espacial Portuguesa, com o objetivo de coordenar a participação nacional na ESA, além de gerir e promover a plataforma de lançamento de pequenos satélites, a ser construída na ilha de Santa Maria – arquipélago dos Açores.
O Planetário do Porto – Centro Ciência Viva convida-o a participar no seu programa especial comemorativo da Semana Mundial do Espaço. A 5 de outubro venha assistir à estreia da versão portuguesa do filme imersivo “O Despertar da Era Espacial”*1, participar em oficinas de construção de foguetões e ficar a conhecer melhor a estratégia nacional para o Espaço.
