He explained that Australia\u2019s increased and accelerated space activity has birthed burgeoning legal issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlongside growth in the industry comes the need for proactive compliance and risk management of both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial issues. By way of example, debris from discarded or disabled satellites have already landed in remote areas of Australia. If, as has happened in the United States, such debris were to destroy a home or business, the question becomes: who is responsible?\u201d Gardner asked.<\/p>\n
The key, he said, is to strike a balance between regulation and innovation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpace is an evolving area and government recognises it could stifle involvement if it clamps down too harshly \u2013 particularly when it has traditionally been such an expensive sector to enter\u201d, Gardner said.<\/p>\n
At the congress, Gardner will be presenting on the topic \u201cIncapacity, death and inheritance \u2013 space and society\u201d, which highlights different legal concerns in a space context. The congress started today September 29 and will run until 3 October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He explained that Australia\u2019s increased and accelerated space activity has birthed burgeoning legal issues. \u201cAlongside growth in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[43149,43151,111,139,69,147,392,43150],"class_list":["post-49594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-bartier-perry","tag-international-astronautical-congress","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-science","tag-space","tag-space-law"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
