[S. Res. 302 Introduced in Senate
(IS) ]
<DOC>
119th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 302
Designating June 30, 2025 as ``Asteroid Day''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
June 25 (legislative day, June 24), 2025
Mr. Kelly (for himself and Mr. Cornyn) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating June 30, 2025 as ``Asteroid Day''.
Whereas asteroids pose both a potential threat and a valuable resource for
scientific exploration and future space endeavors;
Whereas Asteroid Day, observed annually on June 30th, serves as a global
awareness campaign to educate the public about asteroids, their
potential impact, and the importance of planetary defense;
Whereas, on February 15, 2013, the Chelyabinsk asteroid entered Earth's
atmosphere undetected and exploded in a meteor air burst over central
Russia, releasing as much energy as 30 atomic bombs, and seriously
injuring 1,491 people;
Whereas, following the Chelyabinsk incident, Asteroid Day was first officially
celebrated in 2015, marking the beginning of a dedicated global effort
to increase public understanding of asteroids and the risks near-Earth
asteroids can pose;
Whereas the Association of Space Explorers, an international organization of
astronauts and cosmonauts, has demonstrated exceptional leadership in
advocating for global awareness of asteroid impact hazards through
initiatives such as the International Asteroid Warning Network and the
Space Missions Planning Advisory Group;
Whereas Asteroid Day was first recognized by the United Nations General Assembly
in 2016, underscoring the global significance of this educational
initiative; and
Whereas the year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the official celebration of
Asteroid Day, providing a significant occasion to reflect on the
progress made in asteroid awareness and planetary defense over the past
decade: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates June 30, 2025 as ``Asteroid Day''; and
(2) encourages increased public awareness about the risks
posed by asteroids and promotes understanding of the importance
of asteroid research and planetary defense.
