OSPAR encourages its members to exchange information on space research activities carried out in their own countries. One way of doing this is by producing reports summarizing space activities. Generally, such reports are produced in time for limited distribution at COSPAR assemblies. The following countries provided reports at the Beijing Assembly: Australia, Canada, China, Finland, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, Slovak Republic, the UK and the USA; a report was also received from ESA. Since the Assembly, reports from Switzerland and the Ukraine have been received.
The son of astronomer Harlow Shapley and Martha Betz Shapley, Alan attended Harvard College, graduating in 1940. He worked in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (Carnegie Institution of Washington) early in his career, making ionospheric predictions in collaboration with J. Virginia Lincoln in the National Bureau of Standards of the US Department of Commerce (NBS, now the National Institute for Science and Technology). He then worked for the NBS Central Radio Propagation Laboratory (CRPL) serving as Chief, Stm-Earth Relationships Section and subsequently at NOAA from 1947 to 1981. Shapley served as Director of the NOAA's National Geophysical and SolarTerrestrial Data Center (NGSDC, now NGDC) 1970-1981. He served on the committee that chose Boulder, Colorado as a new distributed
