From Launch Pads to the Night Sky
World Space Week is an international celebration of science and technology, and their contribution to the betterment of the human condition.
Carterton Space Week is organised by Go-Carterton, Carterton’s Business Association
The 2026 World Space Week theme, Rocket Revolution, explores how advances in launch technology are transforming access to space. From reusable rockets and commercial launch providers to student-built experiments and satellite missions, the barriers to reaching space are changing rapidly.
During Carterton Space Week, we will explore how these developments connect with astronomy, education, innovation and New Zealand’s growing role in the global space sector.
