1.
States Parties shall inform the
Secretary-General of the United Nations as well as
the
public and the
international scientific community, to the
greatest extent feasible and
practicable, of their
activities concerned with the
exploration and use of the
moon.
Information on the
time,
purposes,
locations, orbital
parameters and
duration shall be
given in
respect of each
mission to the
moon as soon as possible after
launching, while
information on the results of each
mission,
including scientific results, shall be
furnished upon
completion of the
mission. In the
case of a
mission lasting more than sixty
days,
information on
conduct of the
mission,
including any
scientific results, shall be
given periodically, at thirty-
day intervals. For
missions lasting more than six
months,
only
significant additions to such
information need be
reported thereafter.
2. If a
State Party becomes aware that another
State Party plans to
operate
simultaneously in the same
area of or in the same
orbit around or
trajectory to or around
the
moon, it shall promptly inform the other
State of the
timing of and
plans for its own
operations.
3. In carrying out
activities under this
Agreement,
States Parties shall promptly
inform the
Secretary-General, as well as the
public and the
international scientific
community, of any
phenomena they
discover in
outer space,
including the
moon, which could
endanger human life or
health, as well as of any indication of organic
life.
