1st International
Astronautical Congress
The first International
Astronautical Congress was held, with more than a thousand scientists, mostly
from Europe, assembling in Paris.
Every year, the
International Astronautical Federation together with the International Academy
of Astronautics and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL), holds the
International Astronautical Congress (IAC) which is hosted by one of the
national society members of the IAF.
The International
Astronautical Federation (IAF) is an international space advocacy organisation
based in Paris, and founded in 1951 as a non-governmental organization. It has
over 280 members from 64 countries across the world. They are drawn from space
agencies, industry, professional associations, government organizations and
learned societies. It is linked with the International Academy of Astronautics
(IAA) and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL) with whom the IAF
organises the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC).
