Title

Supervision of Space Activities

type

oral

Description

Corresponding to the important transformation of the space sector there is a growing importance to ensure that outer space remains free for exploration and use, and that all actors uphold the fundamental principles. Hence, the national regulators responsible for the authorization and continuing supervision of national space activities are required to put in place adequate means in place to ensure that the national activities are conducted with due regard to the corresponding interests of other countries. This is also reflected by inclusion of ‘supervision’ as Guideline A.3 of the LTS Guidelines (the Guidelines for the long-term sustainability of outer space activities adopted by COPUOS in 2019). What should be the role of space situational awareness (SSA) data, or how should various non-legally binding instruments pertaining to space activities be considered in this process?
