Goldilocks Regulations for Space (Or, “Nobody Told Me It Was Gonna be a Bear!”)

This month, the Roundtable keeps the focus on the growth of commercial space services and the de-risking of space. In June we ask, “How much regulation is too much? Not enough? Or just right for commercial space development?”

We will ask four experts from different fields how much regulation they think is enough? And how much is NOT enough. We will ask what level of regulation is required next to manage space debris and enable the industry to flourish. Our guests will include a fast-growing entrepreneurial company from India, where developments are now accelerating with the passage of new laws. Speakers for this month’s Roundtable include:

• Guest Moderator: Steven M. Kaufman, Partner, Hogan Lovells
• Krystal Azleton, Director of Space Applications Programs, Secure World Foundation
• Abhishek Malhotra, Managing Partner, TMT Law
• Rob Scheige, Senior Vice President, Willis Towers Watson

As part of this month’s session, SpaceNews magazine will give the Significant Digits report on financial and news trends related to the topic, New York Space Alliance founder Joe Fargnoli will react to the discussion in the “New York Minute” and we will show you another great video from SSPI’s Better Satellite World series.
