The Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) is a world-wide organisation promoting scientific research in space on an international level.
COSPAR was established in 1958 by the International Council for Science .
Among COSPAR's objectives are the promotion of scientific research in space on an international level, with emphasis on the free exchange of results, information, and opinions, and providing a forum, open to all scientists, for the discussion of problems that may affect space research.
These objectives are achieved through the organization of symposia, publication, and other means. COSPAR has created a number of research programmes on different topics, a few in cooperation with other scientific Unions.
