    Title

    NewSpace and Space Law

    type

    oral

    Description

    NewSpace companies are disrupting the approach to carrying out space activities by traditional space actors, particularly states and big traditional OldSpace actors. The “disruption” covers areas that include approaches to production, marketing strategies, delivery of goods and services, financing of operational activities that often drastically differ from those traditionally adopted and followed by in the past. At the same time, it is often observed that NewSpace companies are not, at the very least, fully aware of the legal and regulatory framework for space activities that applies, irrespective of the nature of a space actor. This may result in violations of the existing and applicable legal regime. The session invites submissions that analyse the application of regulatory framework regarding space activities to NewSpace sector, challenges of implementation and enforcement, licensing, compliance with existing standards, etc., as well as provide insights as to potential development of regulatory framework in the foreseeable future.
