World Space Week 2026 is under way from October 4 to 10 under the theme "Rocket Revolution," centred on how falling launch costs could open space access to more countries and organisations. Google celebrated the week with a dedicated Doodle, while Adafruit took part in activities linked to the week.

The European Space Agency partnered with Pokemon GO to offer a special Astronaut Pikachu to players during the week. Katara also took part in the event. World Space Week is the largest annual space event on Earth, celebrated in more than 90 countries.
