The Agency’s Role in Reforming Space Activities Regulation
The Portuguese Space Agency has played a crucial role in the review of the Space Activities Regulation. With the publication of the new regulation, greater clarity and legal certainty are ensured, aligning with the objectives of the National Space Strategy – Portugal Space 2030.
The Portuguese Space Agency, as the competent authority for the development of the Portuguese space sector and for promoting the national space strategy – Portugal Space 2030, has taken a central role in providing technical support and in drafting the legislation that reviews the regime for access to and exercise of space activities, Decree-Law No. 20/2024, published earlier this year on 2 February (revising Decree-Law No. 16/2019, of 22 January, “DLAE”).
