At the 41st Space Symposium, a planetary defense luncheon I expected to be apolitical turned into something else. When a former NASA Administrator proposed extending the Artemis Accords to cover asteroid defense, it became clear: the last genuinely multilateral domain in space is being quietly absorbed into the American supremacy stack.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2026/05/spacewatchgl-analysis-the-eu-space-act-and-why-turkiye-should-pay-attention/ Tue, 12 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=73797

As the EU Space Act advances through the legislative process, its implications are expected to extend well beyond EU borders. For Türkiye, the regulation presents both a compliance challenge and a strategic opportunity, particularly for operators involved in launch services, satellite activities, and cooperation with European partners. This article examines the legal, geopolitical, and industrial implications of the EUSA for Türkiye’s emerging space sector.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2026/04/space-cafe-radio-with-dr-daniel-baker/ Wed, 29 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=73426 Torsten Kriening sits down with Dr. Daniel Baker, Director of the Space Policy Center at CU Boulder, recorded just hours before Artemis 2's splashdown.

The space industry stands at an inflection point. With over 12,000 active satellites currently orbiting Earth - a number projected to reach 100,000 by 2030 - we are witnessing the most rapid expansion of human activity beyond our planet in history. As this growth accelerates, so does our recognition of a fundamental challenge: how do we ensure the critical and continuous ability of space activities to benefit Earth?]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/08/spacewatchgl-opinion-global-space-governance-under-pressure-from-u-s-deregulation/ Wed, 20 Aug 2025 08:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=67165 On 13 August 2025, the White House issued an Executive Order titled “Enabling Competition in the Commercial Space Industry.” From where I sit as a space journalist, this marks one of the boldest—and riskiest—moves in U.S. space policy I’ve seen in years]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/05/first-eu-esa-space-council-in-eight-years-held-discusses-space-as-enabler/ Fri, 31 May 2019 05:00:08 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=14402 The Centre national d'études spatiales's (CNES) President and ESA Council Chair, Jean-Yves Le Gall, attended the 9th Space Council between ESA and the European Union (EU) on 28 May 2019.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/04/secure-world-foundation-announce-summit-for-space-sustainability-in-washington-dc-25-26-june-2019/ Mon, 15 Apr 2019 05:00:05 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=13541 Secure World Foundation is pleased to announce the inaugural Summit for Space Sustainability, which will be held in Washington, DC, on 25-26 June 2019.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2018/12/egypt-receives-second-itu-extension-for-military-satellite-due-to-launch-delay/ Fri, 14 Dec 2018 06:00:27 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=11927 The Egyptian government has received a second extension from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to fill its orbital slot with a military communications satellite in an unprecedented and likely controversial decision by the international organisation, according to reporting in Space Intel Report.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2018/11/australian-space-agency-releases-governance-charter-for-space-development/ Thu, 01 Nov 2018 06:00:41 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=11090 The Australian Space Agency (ASA) released its institutional charter on 29 October 2018 that will guide the agency in its efforts to develop Australian civil space capabilities and competencies, as well as establish a thriving space and satellite industrial base.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2017/11/day-4-uae-space-agency/ Fri, 10 Nov 2017 05:05:12 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=6277 This content is for members only.
