In 2019, World Space Week will feature the Moon, with astronomy groups globally focusing telescopes on our nearest neighbor. In 2020, World Space Week will focus on satellite technology and the key role of satellites in today’s world.
Every year, teachers use space during World Space Week to inspire students and a myriad of space events to educate the public about space activities.
