Space Law, Regulation and Policy Update | January 10, 2025
It was quite the holiday season for space: the FCC rounded out the year with a great gift, allocating additional spectrum for commercial launch and reentry vessels, and the Parker Solar Probe’s record-breaking solar flyby kept it toastier than a new pair of slippers.

All this and more in this week’s edition of Akin’s Space Law, Regulation and Policy newsletter.
