The mission of Celestial Commons is to promote public (common) interest in space and to ensure that those interests are represented and advocated for as human ventures into space develop.
With the pace of development in the space sector accelerating rapidly, it is critical that we take action to improve public oversight and engagement.
To this end, Celestial Commons works to:
- Consult, represent and lobby on behalf of communities presently disenfranchised from decision making and the development of humanity's future in Space.
- Educate the public on the scope of possibilities in space, the return on public investment, the opportunity for public good, the impact on their lives and the risks associated with a lack of public scrutiny and oversight.
- Ensure that representative democratic principles and decision making govern the development of space by strengthening public and democratic institutions and promoting common collaborative legislative frameworks.
- Foster partnerships, policy and agreements that share space based technology and resources in order to address global challenges such as education, poverty and climate change.
Our primary activities are:
- The provision of pro-bono strategic communications services to individuals, groups, organisations and projects working on public interest space activities. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Public interest policy
- Student led projects
- Public access data
- Social/environmental impact
- Citizen engagement

- The cultivation of deliberative, participatory and ultimately citizen led policy initiatives across the globe, with the intent of developing a citizens space policy platform to serve as the foundation of public interest advocacy.
