Three general areas of initial focus have been identified, with suggestions for new legislation and/or for existing Isle of Man legislation to be extended to:

 

1. The support of the Geostationary Satellite Communications Industry, including the financing, insuring, manufacturing, launch, and operations of any satellite;

2. The Commercialization and Industrialization of Low Earth Orbit (Space Tourism, Commercial Activities in LEO, etc);

3. The Utilization and Industrialization of Near Earth Space (the Exploration Initiative, etc).

 

Outlined are general broad concepts for discussion, inclusion, omission, etc.  The initial list is spartan.  What have we missed?  What would you like added for consideration?  What would you like removed?  How can we improve your legislative working environment?  How can we facilitate and enable business growth for you in space? 

 

If you have specific ideas or detailed feedback to give please also feel free to do so.

1. The support of the existing Manx Geostationary Satellite Communications Industry, including the financing, insuring, manufacturing, launch, and operations of any satellite:

 

      A Delimitation of Outer Space?

      Space Debris Mitigation?  End of Life / De-Orbit Requirements?

      The creation of a Register of Financial and Security Interests in line with UNIDROIT?

      Financial or Insurance specific?
