**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the United Nations' efforts in promoting international cooperation in space exploration and the peaceful uses of outer space. The studies mentioned are focused on assisting countries in studying their remote sensing needs, using direct broadcasting satellites for educational purposes, and ensuring the effective utilization of the geostationary orbit. These topics seem to be related to the development of space technology and its applications, rather than other areas such as economic development, natural resources, or health.
