Akin Space Law, Regulation and Policy Update | November 15, 2024
After the Republicans’ sweeping victory in last week’s election, the space community waits for guidance from the incoming Administration. Meanwhile, Congress enters the lame duck session with a slate of must-pass bills, including the NDAA and the 2025 appropriations bill. Away from Washington, China says the Long March 10A – the rocket designed to take it to the Moon – will fly in 2026, and Japan and Poland sign onto the U.S. military’s Wideband Global Satcom network. Just another busy couple of weeks in the business of leaving Earth.
All this and more in this edition of Akin’s Space Law, Regulation and Policy Update.
