Note by the Secretariat

To assist the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Spacein its worki the Secretary-General has been asked to continue the compilation andupdating of information on facilities for education and training 'n basic subjectsrelated to the peaceful uses of outer space.

Following requests by the Secretary-General in 1965, many Member Statessubmitted information on their national programmes, and further replies werereceived from the specialized agencies. Publications A/AC.105/28 andA/AC.105/C.1/L.11 and L.11/Add.1 were based thereon.

The prcsent directory includes all this information, modified when necessaryin the light of additional replies since receved, and it includes also much newmaterial obtained from government agencies, learned societies, research establish-ments, universities and other institutions throughout the world. Acknowledgementis also made to the many sources listed in the bibliography at the end of thisdirectory. The Secretariat of the United Nations was assisted in the compilatioaof the directory by a special consultant, Mr. S. Buchanan, B.Sc., A.F.R.Ae.S.,F.B.I.S., A.F.A.I.A.A., of the City University, London.

Although efforts have been made to check the accuracy and completeness ofthe information herein, it has not always been possible to do so. Inevitably, inwork of this complexity, some omissions and mistakes will have occurred, andthe Outer Space Affairs Group of the Secretariat of the United Nations would begrateful if recipients of the directory would advise them of any such errors.

In interpreting the phrase " basic subjects related to the peaceful uses ofouter space ", it is cleatly possible to include a very wide range of the total fieldof formal education in all countries. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering,medicine, law, economics and other domains could all be relevant. The compilershave taken the main peaceful uses as scientific investigation, communication,meteorology and navigation, and have tried to include all these and diyectly alliedsubjects, with other basic subjects brought in where they seemed especiallyimportant.

The designation of countries and territories and the arrangements of materialin this publication should not be considered as implying any endorsement or otherjudgement by the Secretariat of the United Nations regarding the legal status ofany country or territory, or of its authorities, or in respect of the delimitation of itsboundaries.

89

(post-doctoral and senior post-doctoral), and training inconnexion with NASA co-operative projects with othercountries.

NASA international university fellowships were esta-blished to assist other nations and groups of nations intheir efforts to develop scientific space programmes. Tothis end, the university fellowships provide opportunitiesfor up to 100 promising young scientists from abroadto study and participate in research in the space sciencesat leading universities in the United States (for details,see entry for the National Academy of SciencesNational Research Council).

The purpose of the NASA resident research asso-ciateships is to provide investigators of unusual abilityand promise with an opportunity for theoretical orexperimental research at NASA centres in the variousareas of science and technology related to space explo-ration. These include the physics of planetary andlunar atmospheres, particle physics of the space environ-ment, space biosciences and engineering (for details, seeentry for the National Academy of Sciences NationalResearch Council).

Training is an integral part of virtually every NASAco-operative project. The extent of training in anygiven programme depends on the needs of the co-opera-ting nation, its responsibilities in the joint project, andthe scientific and technical character of the projectitself. Thus, in one of its co-operative satellite projects,NASA provides training in satellite engineering, tech-niques for launching the satellite into orbit, proceduresfor tracking and acquisition of data from the satellite,and reduction and analysis of the data. In co-operativcsounding rocket projects, training may be provided inthe fabrication of scientific payloads, procedures forlaunching rockets, tracking and data acquisition, anddata reduction. This traitting is carried out at NASAcentres such as the sounding rocket range at WallopsIsland, Virginia, or the Goddard Space Flight Centre,near Washington, where foreign scientists and engineerswork side by side with their NASA counterparts inactual operations connected with the joint projects.NASA assumes the cost of the training while the co-operating national space organizations provide for thecosts of travel to and from the United States and for thesalaries and subsistence of their personnel during thetraining period.

During the academic year 1966-67, 40 NASA Inter-national University Fellows from 13 countries studied at18 universities in the United States of America. During1966, 115 scientists from 28 countries held NASAResident Research Associateships, and 62 scientists,engineers and technicians from six countries and ESROreceived NASA training in connexion with agreedco-operative programmes.
