WASHINGTON — Paraguay signed the Artemis Accords May 7, the sixth country to do so in the last two and a half weeks.
Osvaldo Almirón Riveros, head of the Paraguayan Space Agency, signed the Accords in a ceremony in Asunción, the capital of Paraguay, attended by a U.S. Embassy official and a representative of the Paraguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Paraguay is the 67th country to sign the Artemis Accords, which outline best practices for safe and sustainable space exploration. It is the sixth country to do so since mid-April, after Latvia, Jordan, Morocco, Malta and Ireland.
“The signing of the Artemis Accords represents a historic milestone for Paraguay and reflects our commitment to international cooperation, the peaceful use of outer space, scientific development, and the advancement of national space capabilities,” Almirón Riveros said in a statement released by NASA.
