COPUOS, which is the only permanent UN body that deals exclusively with peaceful uses of outer space, was established in 1958 as an ad hoc committee by the UN General Assembly resolution 1348, which noted the success of the scientific co-operative programme of the International Geophysical Year (IGY 1957) in the exploration of outer space and decided to continue and expand this type of cooperation. In 1959, the Comm
