What Spain Space Activities Law 2022 - Ley 26/2022 de 19 de Diciembre sobre Actividades Relacionadas con el Espacio requires
Ley 26/2022, de 19 de diciembre, sobre actividades relacionadas con el espacio (the Spanish Space Activities Law 2022), published in Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE) on 20 December 2022, is Spain's first comprehensive national space law establishing a licensing and authorisation framework for space activities conducted by entities under Spanish jurisdiction. The law designates the Agencia Espacial Española (Spanish Space Agency, AEE) - created by Royal Decree 1024/2023 - as the national space authority, and establishes authorisation requirements for launches, in-orbit operations, and re-entry, along with mandatory liability insurance and a national space object register. Spain is an ESA Member State with significant industrial participation (Airbus Defence and Space in Getafe, GMV, SENER, Indra) and ESAC (European Space Astronomy Centre) is located near Madrid. Ley 26/2022 implements Spain's obligations under the UN Outer Space Treaty 1967, Liability Convention 1972, and Registration Convention 1976.
