Where Diplomacy Orbits The Future

Houston, this is Mission Control. All flight controllers, settle in.

In behalf of the World Space Week 2026, the Organization for Research in Biology, Interstellar, and Technology (ORBIT) had decided to conduct its first ever Model United Nations open for every space geeks around the globe!

Unlike usual MUNs that include committees circulating the usual United Nations groups, our MUN welcomes space agencies to discuss the growth and expansion of space exploration.

Our conference is entirely free! This allows everyone to join to our conference and, in extension, can apply for our organization through our social media (@orbi.t71 in instagram).

  • Certificate of Participation: For those who attended at least 3 sessions
  • Delegates: Best Delegate Award, Outstanding Delegate Award, and Best Position Paper
  • Chairs: Best Chair Award, Outstanding Chair Award
