WORLD SPACE WEEK 2015
October 7-9, 2015
Institute of Space Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan
This document outlines the general rules & regulations and registration requirements to participate in
world space activities in 2015 at Institute of Space Technology, Islamabad.
1.1 Theme
The theme for 2015, (http://www.worldspaceweek.org/) is “Discovery”
World Space Week 2015 celebrates the exciting discoveries in space, teaching us a lot about our origins
and our future. WSW 2015 highlights the great era of deep space discovery that we are in. We have never
learnt as much of the universe we live in as in the last decade. Space telescopes, deep space probes and
several interplanetary satellites and landers have shown us the magic, wonders and opportunities of new
worlds. Exoplanets, galaxies far away and close by and landings on planets, moons, asteroids and comets
teach us about where we humans have come from and where we will go in the future. Space is all about
Discovery!
We are certain that this exciting new theme will be a source of inspiration for our World Space Week
events in 2015.
1.2.
Events and Program
The year 2015 is augmented with several new events in order to create the awareness among the students,
teachers and general masses about the peaceful uses of space science, technology and applications
especially under the umbrella of WSW-2015 theme, “Discovery”. The scheduled Program is attached.

Instructions To promote space technology and applications among the students, IST has taken a leap
forward to create a two day Space School at IST. It is open to all school students of
Islamabad and Rawalpindi. This program shall enable students to obtain a solid
understanding of space technology and its applications.
Our program captures the imagination of children, making it a great stepping-stone to
introduce youngsters to Space science and technology. Indeed, many scientists can trace their
interest in science to a moment as a young child when they were first introduced to the
wonders of the cosmos.
Considering the vastness and beauty of the universe and our place within it provides a special
perspective that can help broaden the mind and stimulate a sense of global citizenship and
tolerance.
