Global Network was founded in 1982 by the joint efforts of the FCPJ, Citizens for Peace in Space (Colorado Springs) and New York-based Journalism professor Karl Grossman. Since its 1992 founding, the GN has met each year in order to bring together key activists who are working on, or are interested in space issues. It was the intention of the founders to create an organization that would serve as a clearinghouse for space issues and act as a spark to ignite education and organizing in order to build an international citizens movement.
