IN-SPACe Issues Guidelines for Planned Re-entry of Space Objects in India
India's National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) issued new guidelines on July 23 for planned re-entry missions of space objects, including reusable launch vehicles and satellites. These rules establish a regulatory framework covering authorisation, safety, liability, and environmental risks for controlled returns to Earth. The guidelines highlight India's growing private space sector, following Skyroot Aerospace's recent orbital rocket launch, and have raised concerns about the country's limited capacity to insure commercial space risks, prompting calls for specialised insurance products.
