It maintains the "Register of Objects Launched into Outer Space" and manages the "Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (UN-SPIDER). At the website you'll find links that access committee information, registry catalogues, reports and publications and other office activities. The "What's New" column lists committee agendas and session pages (some available in English only PDF files). This office maintains committee treaties and agreements that are accessible here. A large section is detailed to International Space Law. The United Nations Program on Space Applications promotes knowledge and experience of space applications around the world. The "Links" page has an excellent list of links to Space Law, Technology, Disaster Management and National Space Organizations. The GNSS links point to the Global Navigation Satellite Systems that are in place. Throughout the website you'll find comprehensive information through web pages, PDF files and videos covering the international aspects of UN space related activities.
