UNISEC-Global is an international nonprofit, non-government organization, supported by the Local Chapters (LCs) around the world. UNISEC-Global was established in 2013 with the vision of establishing Local Chapters(LC) in 100 countries by 2020 in universities It has now consisting of 15 LCs and 30 Points Of Contacts (POCs). Since its establishment, it has maintained conducting core activities and introduce new activities that highlights the space community needs. In 2017, UNISEC-Global was accepted as a permanent observer in UNCOPUOS because of its contributions to the capacity building in space engineering. The observer status added a new dimension to the UNISEC-Global to experience gained. The UNISEC-Global found that the time to revise its vision has come. The revised vision is “By the end of 2030, let’s create a world where university students can participate in practical space projects in all countries.” By this new vision, UNISEC-Global wants to make sure that “No one will be left behind”. It can also be a driving force to implement the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the peaceful utilization of outer space and improve its contributions to thematic priority No. 7 of the UNISPACE+50. One of the main activities of UNISEC-Global which is the Mission Idea Contest (MIC) introduces the SDG as required objectives for the proposed satellites missions. The fifth Mission Idea Contest (MIC5) will be held during the 6th UNISEC-Global meeting in November 19-21, 2018 at the International Space University (ISU), Strasbourg, France. The implementation plan to realize the revised vision seems to be challenging. The present paper discusses the efforts that has been done so far to align the ongoing activities to achieve the revised vision and the challenges to achieve it.
