In the first months of the year, 16 applications were received and will be presented for approval to the IAF General Assembly in October. A record for this time of the year, which testify how the Federation is THE platform to discuss about space.

Since its founding in 1951, the International Astronautical Federation - IAF has seen its Members growning constantly over the years. This phenomenon has resulted in the Federation becoming the pillar of the space community making its network wider and stronger.

At the beginning, space societies understood the importance of cooperating for advancing knowledge. As a consequence, over time, the IAF also opened up to all kind of organizations contributing to the progresses in the space sector; from space agencies to universities, from small and innovative start ups to the leading companies in the field, from museums to foundations and associations.

The IAF then growed into representing the whole space community and this proved to be the right path. Over the past few year the annual increase of members has broke many records, and even a challenging year as 2020 did not stop this trend. After the forced stops of 2020, we are now glad to let you know that the community is more eager than ever to get back cooperating together.
