Episode notes

In this episode of In-Orbit, we're discussing Space Law, and the role of the UK in developing it.

Joining our host, Dallas Campbell, in the studio is Lilith Sailsbury, Contract Management Analyst at the Satellite Applications Catapult, and joining remotely we have PJ Blout, International Space Law and Telecommunications Law Lecturer at Cardiff University and Laetitia Cesari, Consultant at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research and Doctoral Researcher at the University of Luxembourg. 

Humanity's expansion into space raises a myriad of legal questions and challenges. Who owns the resources beyond our atmosphere? How do we regulate space traffic and prevent collisions in orbit? Today we're exploring the historical precedents, current regulations, and future implications of governing the expanse of space.
