Publications

COSPAR publishes two peer-reviewed scientific journals, Advances in Space Research and Life Sciences in Space Research, as well as a tri-annual information bulletin, Space Research Today, and a bimonthly e-letter, COSPAR News, and a book series is being prepared. Space Research Today and the Strategic Action Plan 2024-2028 can be found here. The COSPAR Publications Committee provides oversight on all matters related to publications
