11-14 April, 2001

The Objective of the Conference

On the 12th of April 2001 the 40th anniversary of the first manned flight will be celebrated. The flight of Y. A. Gagarin heralded the era of practical space exploration and gave a powerful impulse to the technological progress, development of modern technologies and fundamental and applied sciences. Over the 40 years of manned flights, cosmonautics has traveled an impressive way from the first spacecraft "Vostok" through the space multi-seaters "Voskhod", "Gemini", "Soyouz", through the permanent orbital stations "Salut", "Skylab" and "Mir", the reusable spacecraft "Shuttle" and "Buran" to the development of the international space station.

Peaceful exploration of space opens new horizons in the studies of the Universe while offering new possibilities for improving living standards on the Earth and the use of space resources to benefit mankind. In this context a possible militarization of space and its transformation into a sphere of armed confrontation cause serious concern.

In his intervention at the Millenium Summit at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in September 2000, President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin proposed to convene under the auspices of the UN an international conference on prevention of space militarization to mark the 40th anniversary of the first manned flight. The conference is to pursue a twofold objective, that is, to discuss both the prevention of space militarization and peaceful uses of space.

Invitations to the Conference have been sent to the representatives of national space agencies, ministries of foreign affairs and defense, academies of sciences, research centers and firms, international and non-governmental organizations majoring in space exploration, universities, training centers, commercial organizations, insurance companies and banks as well as to the cosmonauts and astronauts.
