OSTIn Partners UNOOSA on Space Law for New Space Actors

OSTIn is partnering with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) on the "𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀" project as part of ongoing efforts to create an enabling environment for space activities in Singapore. Through this collaboration, Singapore aims to explore the key elements of national space legislation as a first step to developing a comprehensive policy framework that will strengthen our position as a responsible spacefaring nation while building up our space sector.

We look forward to engaging stakeholders to develop a future-ready regulatory environment to better support innovation and growth in the space ecosystem.

#UNOOSA Director Aarti Holla-Maini said: “With so many actors conducting or planning space missions all over the world, the importance of a legal and regulatory framework for space activities cannot be overstated. We are pleased to support Singapore in developing a robust and comprehensive framework that will provide greater clarity for industry, serving as an important enabler of Singapore’s ambitions in space.”

Jonathan Hung, Executive Director of the Office for Space Technology & Industry, Singapore (OSTIn), added: “With the growth in Singapore’s space sector, establishing a comprehensive policy and legal framework for space activities would support Singapore’s global standing as a responsible spacefaring nation, as well as foster a facilitative and conducive environment for businesses. Singapore is excited to work with UNOOSA and contribute to the peaceful, responsible and sustainable use of outer space by all.”
