Akin Space Law, Regulation and Policy Update | March 7, 2025
It was a busy couple of weeks on the Moon! Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost became the second commercial spacecraft to successfully land on the Moon. It later achieved another first by successfully acquiring and tracking GPS navigation signals from the Moon’s surface. Back on Earth, the House committee overseeing NASA backed a Moon-to-Mars strategy, the FCC mulled over reallocating more C-Band spectrum, South Korea outlined its ambitious space strategy and Varda landed the first commercial spacecraft in Australia.
All this and more in this week’s edition of Akin’s Space Law, Regulation and Policy newsletter.
