Proclamation establishing July 20th as International Moon Day.
With the birth of space activities, the Moon became the ultimate destination of countless missions, including crewed flights that brought the first human footprints to another place in the universe. As Moon exploration efforts continue taking shape with ambitious plans, this global celebration will serve not only as a reminder of success in the past but as an annual testimony to future endeavours. The International Moon Day (IMD) was declared on 9 December 2021 by the United Nations General Assembly in Resolution A/RES/76/76 , building upon the recommendation of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space . This commemorative day will be observed annually on 20 July.
