Executive training for the space sector
Alden Legal and the National Space Academy are excited to be able to offer this unique specialist course, combining trusted legal advice and current insight on regulation and policy with accessible technological expertise and comprehensive knowledge of space sector contexts.
This one-day course is a brilliant primer for executives from all backgrounds. The course content can be adapted to meet the specific needs of your organisation, but in general will include:
1. Introduction to the space industry
A brief history of space exploration and space exploitation (applications) and a summary of the key players in the global space sector such as global agencies (NASA, Roscosmos, ESA), manufacturers, operators, new services (in orbit servicing) and the “new kids on the block” (SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgins Galactic and Orbit, various innovative SMEs).
2. Satellites
Learn about satellites and their characteristics for different applications including: sizes, lifetimes and roles, orbits, spectrum/wavelength bands, commercial spectrum, and atmospheric windows and the significance of smallsats and constellations and developments in Earth observation.
3. Launchers
Begin with the principles of rocketry, followed by developing an understanding of the economics of launchers, future trends, small launcher capability and access to space.
4. Satellite Applications
Explore the applications of satellites in greater depth, from traditional areas (telecommunications in GEO orbits, EO systems for science, military surveillance systems, GNSS applications) to new opportunities (satellite internet, satellite constellations, small satellites, the space data revolution). Learn about the key European satellite application schemes of Galileo and Copernicus and the opportunities they have to offer.
5. Introduction to the international legal framework and space faring nations
Learn about the negotiation of the international treaties and their key provisions including: responsibility of states, liability and jurisdiction and control, how they are applied in Europe and the UK, and in particular through UK Space Agency, national licensing and new state players.
Get up to speed with launch and operations licensing in the UK and Europe, understanding the main issues as to licensing and insurance requirements. Find out about the issues posed by smallsats, large constellations, in-orbit servicing, high resolution Earth observation satellites and issues such as space debris and learn about case studies of large and small new international players.
Follow up with a comparative view of regulation and policy internationally.
6. UK National Framework
Start with the UK Outer Space Act and changes to the current framework through the Space Industry Act, and then develop a deeper understanding of issues such as relocating satellites and change of control. Gain greater familiarisation with industry bodies and key government departments and contacts.
7. Introduction to ITU, Ofcom and spectrum filing
Learn about the ITU in simple terms, followed by an explanation of the Ofcom filing mechanism. Follow up with information about accessing military spectrum, spectrum filings and licensing for various applications and issues at the WRC-23.
8. SSA, STM and Space Debris
Develop a deeper understanding of the issues and threats from space debris, and the relevant guidelines and principles developed to mitigate these.
9. Going beyond the headlines
Trends, challenges and future opportunities for the UK in a changing international “spacescape”.
Discover future alternatives to space platforms including UAVs and ground-based navigation/ internet delivery systems and learn about their challenges to space econometrics. Discuss future issues on the horizon for space sector business included the emergence of new space-faring nations with ambitious plans for growth - how can we best find new opportunities as the landscape changes?
Includes China and UAE sector case studies, Brexit challenges and opportunities, the new European space landscape, the impact of COVID-19 on space sector activities, new commercial opportunities in human and robotic space exploration and navigating ITAR and export control issues.
