Gabriel Swiney on OSC's remote sensing licensing at #40thSpaceSymposium

Earlier today I attended Washington Arbitration Week’s panel on “Space Law in the New Space Age: sovereignty, resources, and dispute resolution” — an eye-opening discussion on the legal challenges rapidly emerging as space exploration shifts from government-led missions to private ventures. From space mining to the evolving role of international law and arbitration, the panel tackled the pressing need for clearer frameworks to govern ownership, responsibility, and conflict in outer space. A timely and thought-provoking session on the future of law.

Space Law & Policy Explained | Frans von der Dunk on Navigating the Legal Universe | Friends of SpaceVrse | Episode 79 In this episode, we sit down with Frans von der Dunk, founder and director of Black Holes BV and one of the world's leading space law and policy experts. With decades of experience advising governments, international organizations, and space agencies, Frans has been at the legal forefront of major space initiatives, including Galileo, GNSS, and European space policy.

Whether you're a space entrepreneur, policy maker, engineer, or space enthusiast, this conversation offers rare insight into the often-overlooked legal infrastructure that makes modern space activities possible. Frans is the founder of Black Holes BV, a specialized consultancy that integrates legal, regulatory, and policy frameworks into space projects from the ground up. He has served as Legal Task Manager for major European Commission space initiatives and continues to advise governments and organizations worldwide on navigating the evolving landscape of space law.

At this year’s annual conference of the International Bar Association in #Toronto, the Space Law Committee is organizing a panel on “Managing Commercial Risk in Space Operations”. Nadia Rochdi, Bailey Reichelt and Stefan-Michael Wedenig will share, from different perspectives of the space industry, which risks they encounter in their work, to then discuss possible mitigation strategies.

Delighted to share that my paper titled “Evolving Space Law in the Age of Artemis Accords” has been published in the International Journal of Law Management and Humanities! The paper explores how international space governance is adapting to the emerging framework of the Artemis Accords, highlighting key legal, ethical, and geopolitical dimensions shaping the future of outer space activities. Grateful for this opportunity to contribute to the growing discourse on space law and its evolving global implications! #SpaceLaw #ArtemisAccords #InternationalLaw #LegalResearch #Publication #IJLMH #SpaceGovernance Read more at: https://lnkd.in/eju278A8
