New Strategy Aims For Faster And Simpler Licenses
The UK is set to introduce a new Space Strategy that will simplify and speed up the licensing process for space-related activities. The move aims to make licenses faster, simpler, and cheaper to obtain for launch and return operations, range control, spaceports, and satellite operations. According to the UK’s space regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority, the current system has been criticized for being overly complex. The new strategy was announced by a UK minister and reported by Aviation Week.
