Session 2
summary
European institutions push a binding EU space law that applies to any entity selling to the EU27, scans 12 national laws for best practices and builds three pillars — safety, resilience, sustainability — while insisting on standardized operational data and proportional, calibrated obligations. Industry examples: Amazon’s Project Kuiper launches two satellites, promises active deorbit within one year, tests 100 Gbps optical inter‑satellite links and aims to invest >$10B; ISA’s nonbinding zero debris by 2030 Charter guides mission practices and ESA/companies already embed its rules.
