World Space Week (WSW) is an annual holiday which is observed around the world from October 4th to 10th, including Europe and Asia. World Space Week is formally defined as "Contribution to the improvement of international science and technology festivals and their health conditions" [1].

On December 6, 1999, the UN General Assembly announced the World Space Week as a celebration of the annual event to be held in commemoration of the 4 th to 10 th October. The selection of dates is based on the understanding of two important dates of the first artificial earth satellite Sputnik 1 launched on October 4, 1957 and the Space Space Treaty signed on October 10, 1967.

World Space Week is the world's largest annual universe event. [3] In 2017, World Space Week held more than 3,700 events in 80 countries. Activities include school events at the Planetaria around the world, exhibitions, government events and special events

The World Space Week Board of Directors has set the theme of World Space Week every year.

Under the theme "Explore the New World of the Universe", many of the activities of World Space Week 2017 focused on exploration of space and recently discovered planets in the near-solar system resembling the Earth. [4] [5]

In 2018, the theme of World Space Week is "the universe of unity". This part is to commemorate the +50 meeting of the historic UNISPACE conference held in Vienna this year.

The World Space Week Association is a non-governmental non-profit organization supported by coordinators in more than 50 countries. It is guided by all volunteer boards including Buzz Aldrin, Bill Nye, Tom Hanks, Elon Musk, Dorin - Dumitru Prunariu, Max Grimard, Lisa LaBonte, and space leaders all over the world. Its purpose is to educate people around the world about the benefits of the universe, to encourage the use of the universe for sustainable economic development, to enhance enthusiasm through space efforts and education, to promote cooperation between science and the state It is to be interested in. [6]

Every year, the World Space Week Association Council selects a theme in cooperation with the United Nations Space Agency. This theme will provide participants of World Space Week extensive guidance on the content of the program. By using a unified global theme, the theme was chosen to further strengthen the influence of the World Space Week on all humanity.

Prior to UNISPACE + 50, the World Space Week Association (WSWA) and the United Nations Space Agency (UNOOSA) invited volunteers from the World Space Week to participate in the paper competition on the role of the present and the future space and society . Participants are asked to ask three questions.
