Global peaceful co-operation in space research would be organized and would develop on a rising curve - from the exchange of scientific and technological information and simple forms of co-operation to the pooling of States' existing possibilities for solving large-scale problems of space exploration. Mankind would thus also be able to attain such long-term goals as the industrialization of near space in the sense of the integration of space complexes designed for various purposes into the terrestrial economies of States and the operation of orbital factories and plants for the manufacture of new materials and industrial products in the high vacuum of zero-gravity. The inexhaustible reserves of outer space, including the resources of celestial bodies and solar energy, would be placed at the service of man. cd/639 page 6 Two . The USSR considers that international co-operation in the peaceful use of outer space could be pursued principally in the following directions: 1. Fundamental scientific research into outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, and the launching of interplanetary spacecraft for these purposes ; 2. The application of the results of space research, experiments and the utilization of space technology, inter alia in fields such as biology, medicine, the study of materials, weather forecasting, climatic and environmental studies, global satellite communications systems, remote sensing of the Earth with a view to obtaining data for geology, agriculture and the exploration of the oceans and seas, and the search for, detection and rescue of victims of accidents at sea and in the air; ' 3. The development and utilization of space technology, including major international orbital scientific stations, as well as piloted spacecraft of various types.
analysis: The text discusses the potential benefits of international cooperation in the peaceful use of outer space, including scientific research, technology development, and applications in various fields. It highlights the potential for space exploration to contribute to economic development, improve our understanding of the environment, and provide new resources for humanity.
