Muscat, Jan. 27 (BNA): The Sultanate of Oman has officially approved its joining the Artemis Accords, alongside signing an agreement aimed at enhancing joint cooperation in the peaceful exploration of space.

According to the Oman News Agency, Casey Swails, Deputy Associate Administrator at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), said that Oman’s inclusion in this group of 61 nations within the Artemis Accords reflects its commitment to shared values for space exploration conducted for peaceful purposes.

Swails explained that the Accords establish unified standards to ensure interoperability, emphasising the need for regulatory frameworks in space similar to those on Earth. Just as there are strict rules for traffic and aviation safety, the space sector requires a common framework to address challenges and coordinate missions between countries.
