What Norway Space Activities Act 2021 (Lov om norsk romvirksomhet) - Norwegian Commercial Space Regulatory Framework requires

Norway's Act on Norwegian Space Activities (Lov om norsk romvirksomhet, LOV-2021-06-11-84) entered into force on 1 January 2022 and established a comprehensive licensing regime for commercial space activities under Norwegian jurisdiction. The Act requires any Norwegian legal person or entity conducting space activities from Norwegian territory to obtain a licence from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries (Nærings- og fiskeridepartementet). The Act implements Norway's obligations under the five UN space treaties, mandates liability insurance for licensees, requires debris mitigation plans, and establishes registration of Norwegian space objects. Implementing regulations (FOR-2022-12-09-2185) specify licensing requirements, insurance minimums, and debris mitigation standards.
