Space Sustainability Forum

At the Space Sustainability Forum the ITU Secretary-General outlined how ITU has over the decades become an essential part of the space endeavour. Virtually everything we do in space relies on radiocommunication. “Even the dark side of the Moon is protected from radio-frequency interference thanks to a visionary ITU decision taken in 1971," said the Secretary-General. Looking to the future, work is underway for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2027, whose agenda is largely space related. ​
