World Space Week 2026 is under way from October 4 to 10 under the theme "Rocket Revolution," focused on how falling launch costs could bring space within reach of 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 time-limited Astronaut Pikachu to players during the week. Katara also joined activities connected to the event. World Space Week is the most widely observed space event each year, observed across more than 90 countries.
