SUMMARY:Critical issues in international space law: 2023 and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Critical issues in international space law: 2023 and beyond\nPanel discussion and cocktail reception\nIn-person event \nWe are entering a new era of space exploration and exploitation\, placing space law at the forefront of the international legal agenda. In this commercial space age\, private space companies pursue their corporate agendas alongside the public initiatives of national space agencies. The domain of ‘space’ is now more congested\, competitive and commercialised than any previous era. The advances in space technology have brought with it new challenges including\, but not limited to concerns relating to space debris\, the cluttering of orbits\, spectrum allocations\, space militarisation and weaponization\, mining of space resources\, space tourism\, commercialisation and space sustainability. The rapid evolution of the space industry raises the question of whether the existing international legal framework effectively addresses these emerging challenges. \nThis panel will consider some of the present critical issues in space law and the challenges going forward for space global governance. \nWelcome and launch of Sydney Law School’s Space Law program \nProfessor Simon Bronitt (Head of School and Dean\, Sydney Law School) \nIntroduction to panel discussion \nIsobel Haddow (Industry Analyst\, Space Industry Association of Australia) \nPanel chair \nProfessor Chester Brown (Sydney Law School) \n  \nPanelists\nDr Rebecca Connolly (Sydney Law School) \nCrowding of the Low-Earth Orbit – the rise in military and commercial space assets in the LEO. \nWith the cost to access space rapidly decreasing\, we are witnessing a rush to place commercial and military assets in the LEO. The rapid increase in these space assets raises complex issues relating to space-traffic management\, orbital collisions\, national security\, space debris\, impacts on astronomy and overall space sustainability. This talk will discuss the crowding and competition in the LEO and the need for regulation. \nDr Annie Handmer \nSpace Debris – mitigation and remediation strategies and the challenge of dual-use technologies. \nThis talk will discuss the importance of a multi-disciplinary perspective to tackle challenging regulatory issues relating to the rising cloud of space debris. In particular\, the relevance of Science and Technology Studies as a lens through which to understand space law and to address the interwoven issues of politics\, technology and social concerns going forward. \nProfessor Steven Freeland (Western Sydney University/Bond University\, Law) \nSpace Law “Big Issues” – the geopolitics of space and the challenges of achieving multilateral consensus. \nThe past few decades have witnessed significant changes to the space landscape. While the existing international space law represents an important base for regulation\, it is clear that further multilateral standards and instruments will be required to more comprehensively address the next stage of space activities. This talk will discuss the challenges for achieving global space governance on some of the ‘big issues’ in space law and the pathway forward. \n——————————— \nWednesday 10 May\, 2023\nTime: 5.30-7.30pm AEST (5.30pm registration for 5.45pm start\, followed by a cocktail reception) \nVenue: Law Foyer\, Level 2\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown Campus \nCPD Points: 2 \nThis event is being held in-person at Sydney Law School. \n——————————— \nThis event is proudly presented by Sydney Law School at the University of Sydney and the Space Industry Association of Australia. \n
