Since 1988, the United Nations, through its Space Applications Programme, has supported the establishment of regional centers for space science and technology education, affiliated with the United Nations, in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean and the West. Asia.
It was noted that education varies greatly between countries and even between institutions within the same country, which has led to differences in space science and technology education curricula in terms of content and presentation patterns. To ensure a common level of education in the centers, educational curricula have been developed in the main areas of aerospace applications.
