RUDN University Space Week 2024: Outcomes

The World Space Week 2024 was dedicated to the interconnection of space with the climate change problem, that is why all the days of RUDN University Space Week were related to the main theme.

Within the framework of the 4th day of RUDN University Space Week the organizers announced a competition among students for the best question for the speakers. The prize was two volumes of the Russian-language Cologne Commentary on Space Law. As a result of the selection, it was decided to recognize Evgeny Tatarchenko (MSU) and Danila Zaryugin (RUDN University).
