Commercial spaceflight: insurance and liabilities requirements

We are consulting on the draft:

• insurance proposals
• liabilities regulations
• charging proposals

as part of the package of regulations required to implement the Space Industry Act 2018 and which will enable commercial spaceflight launches to take place from the UK.

We are consulting:

• on the operability and effectiveness of the proposals including the use of licence conditions to cover insurance requirements
• on the draft Space Industry (Liabilities) Regulations and associated documentation
• to gather new evidence and test the assumptions in the impact assessment

These proposals supplement the ‘Spaceport and spaceflight activities: regulations and guidance’ consultation published in July 2020.
