Abstract
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) launched the Access to Space for All Initiative in 2018 providing opportunities and space science data services. Under the Initiative, UNOOSA has been collaborating with space-faring governmental, intergovernmental and private sector entities to open ground- and space-based facilities to all Member States of the United Nations for micro- and hypergravity experiments, space missions, human spaceflight activities, and small satellite deployment. This paper focuses on the CubeSat deployment opportunities that are made available through the Access to Space for All Initiative. The missions selected under this Initiative are supporting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
