Abstract
The authors discuss the progress of the Orbiting Unification Ring-Space Peace Sculptures (OURSPS), a project of the OURS Foundation. The OUR-SPS have been designed in accord with both the astronomical sign of the planet Earth and an ancient sign of peace and unity. The sculptures also communicate to a global audience that the development of outer space is not only beneficial but also crucial to the well-being of the planet. Specific developments discussed include the evolution of launch arrangements with the space agencies of the United States and the USSR, the selection of contractors and technology and the broadening of artistic collaboration and public awareness through events and exhibitions. Today we understand that at our level of industrialization and social development we are united by nature, and there is no more meaning to the words ‘mine’ and 'yours’. We must use a new word—'ours’. When we cosmonauts go out into space, this word ‘ours ’ unites us. Valentin Ledebev, Soviet cosmonaut on Salyut 7
