Space Law
Gian Marco Iulietto follows the regulation of commercial space activities, a sector where private companies and startups now operate alongside public agencies.
The legal issues include the authorisation and registration of operators, liability for damage caused by space objects, spectrum use, ownership and use of satellite data, launch and in-orbit service contracts, and the security of space infrastructure.
The framework combines the international space treaties, national laws and European Union initiatives, and overlaps with cybersecurity, data protection and export controls.
