India Sets Safety Rules and Liability Limits for Planned Space Object Re-Entries
India's IN-SPACe has introduced new guidelines requiring authorisation for planned re-entry of space objects by Indian entities and Indian-incorporated entities for foreign companies. The rules set a strict safety limit, capping casualty risk at one in 10,000, and mandate comprehensive risk assessments and insurance coverage. These measures aim to regulate private space missions, ensure public safety, and align with international debris mitigation standards. Planned re-entry involves controlled descent to minimize risks from spacecraft or debris returning to Earth.
