About International Day of Human Space Flight

International Day of Human Space Flight is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2027 it falls on a Monday; in 2028 it’s on Wednesday 12 April, and in 2029 on Thursday 12 April. Because it’s a Monday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in April 2027: National Licorice Day (12 Apr), National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day (12 Apr) and Armed Forces Day (Somalia) (12 Apr). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s on 12 April every year, as set by the United Nations.
