Title

Key Governance Issues in the New Space Age

Description

The New Age Space is qualified by new age technologies, applications and the use of space for new age space activities - in and off the Earth’s orbit. To consistently ensure safe, sustainable and secure use of outer space for peaceful purpose will become an ever more critical space governance concern. Therefore, given the general uncertainty around concepts like “ Benefit and Uses of Outer Space to all Humankind” , could we explore New Age Space qua the UN Development Goals 2030 in context to: (i) Role of New Age space technologies – telecommunications/RS&EO/GNSS to extend the benefits of space to developing and least developed countries; (ii) Space Environment Governance; (iii) Long Term Economic Development on Earth; (iv) Global Governance for Space Security and (iv) Capacity Building in Global Space Governance.
