Space Cafe "Law Breakfast with Steven Freeland"
Space Café "Law Breakfast with Steven Freeland" will analyse current space developments with a legal focus. It will, at the same time discuss and ‘demystify’ the law for everyone.
In our next Space Café “Law Breakfast with Steven Freeland”, Host Steven Freeland, Emeritus Professor of International Law at Western Sydney University, Sydney, and Professorial Fellow at Bond University, Australia, and Co-Host Torsten Kriening, SpaceWatch.Global’s Publisher, will welcome Dr. Rada Popova, Director Legal & Regulatory at Isar Aerospace, and François Lambert, Principal at Orbital Reach Ventures & Advisory and General Manager, Head of Regulatory Affairs at Equatorial Launch Australia (ELA)
Over bagels, croissants, coffee and other treats, we will discuss many legal issues arising from everyday space activities.
With the expertise and vision of Rada and Francois, we will look at some critical issues including:
Why is the global demand for launch services continuing to grow, and should the number of launches made be capped at some point?
How to deal with multiple jurisdictions when seeking approval for launch-related services
What issues arise outside of ‘traditional’ space law when operating a spaceport?
Rada and Francois will provide their ‘one word’ to describe the wonders of space/space law – a tradition for all guests at the Space Café Law Breakfasts, and help to demystify the sometimes complex and contradictory vested interests involved in space activities and industry.
We hope you enjoy this discussion and join us on 3 October 2024 at 9:30 am CEST. There are so many issues to discuss. Please come with your favorite breakfast treat and any questions you might want us to analyze.
We really hope you will join us for breakfast! See you then!

Space Cafe Geopolitics “33 minutes with Dr Jessica West” on nukes in space, 2024 edition
This Space Café Geopolitics will feature Dr Jessica West, Senior Researcher at Project Ploughshares, in conversation with Torsten Kriening, Publisher of SpaceWatch.Global.
Nukes in Space, a 2024 edition and an analysis of the Russian veto at the UN Security Council
Last week, Wednesday 24 April 2024, Russia vetoed the UN Security Council’s resolution to reaffirm the Outer Space Treaty’s ban on weapons of mass destruction in space crafted by the US and Japan. That veto was set in the same week that at UN COPUOS in Vienna the Legal Subcommittee had their 63th session.
Breaking Defense’ Theresa Hitchens quoted in an article about the situation our guest Dr Jessica West: “The resolution reflects an unprecedented escalation of the diplomatic standoff in the United Nations between the United States and Russia regarding arms control and security measures in outer space, which has been decades in the making,” Jessica West, of Canada’s Project Ploughshares, told Breaking Defense.
In this Space Cafe Geopolitics, Torsten will discuss with Jessica the lead up to the Security Council Resolution, how the vote unfolded, and the potential consequences. As we reported earlier, intelligence about a possible nuclear weapon threat in outer space was leaked in the lead up to the Munich Security Conference in 2024. Is this threat real, how is it affecting space diplomacy, and how can it be averted?
Dr Jessica West is a Senior Researcher at the Canadian peace research institute Project Ploughshares, where her work on space security brings her into regular contact with UN bodies and experts from around the world. She also served as the long-time editor of the Space Security Index report. Dr West holds a PhD in global governance and international security studies from the Balsillie School of International Affairs, which she earned by studying national strategies of resilience and threat containment.
