• Mr.J.Stalin

The 20th Century is remarkable in the world history. The first half saw the advent of atomic energy and the second half saw the pleasant event of space exploration. The launching of Sputnik by the former Soviet Union in 1957 has signaled the beginning of space race between two super powers. Since then the outer space activities increased tremendously with the passage of time. The race that began as bilateral has now become multilateral with the entry of several other states to the field of outer space. The states have also started to carry on specific missions directed towards various celestial bodies existing in the solar system. The concept of CHM is a novel concept based on some idealistic principles. Despite its idealistic roots, the concept is very significant as it represents the voice of great majority of the developing countries. CHM advocates for a well-balanced development while avoiding the monopoly of few over the resources outside the national jurisdiction.
