In addition to an analysis of the licensing regime and its normative underpinnings, this work also presents a comparative overview of the United Kingdom’s domestic space legislation in addition to aspects of telecommunications law. There is also particular focus on the novel provisions of the legislation pertaining to human occupants and the intersection with other relevant instruments and common law principles.
