Ep.111 Space Policy in Motion: Examining Australia's, Canada’s, and the UK's Space Policies - Part-II | Marissa Martin

In this episode, we delve into the evolving space policies of Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, exploring each country's unique approach to the final frontier. As space technology accelerates and international space competition heats up, these countries are navigating challenges around commercial investment, environmental sustainability, security, and international collaboration. Join us as we examine the key policy initiatives shaping each nation’s space strategy—from Australia’s efforts to grow its commercial space sector to Canada’s commitment to peaceful space exploration and the UK’s ambitious regulatory reforms to become a leading space hub.
