What Denmark Space Activities Act 2016 - Lov nr. 1400 af 27. November 2016 om Rumaktiviteter requires
The Danish Space Activities Act (Lov om rumaktiviteter, Lov nr. 1400 af 27. november 2016) establishes Denmark's national legal framework for the licensing, supervision, and registration of space activities conducted by entities under Danish jurisdiction. The Act designates the Danish Business Authority (Erhvervsstyrelsen) as the competent authority for licensing and national oversight of space operations. The law implements Denmark's obligations under the UN Outer Space Treaty 1967, the Liability Convention 1972, and the Registration Convention 1976 as an ESA Member State. The Act requires prior authorisation for space launches and in-orbit operations by Danish entities, mandates liability insurance or financial security, establishes a national space object register, and provides for ongoing supervision. Denmark hosts significant space sector activity including the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Space) and GomSpace (nanosatellite manufacturer in Aalborg).
