Old Minister of Science | Space

A former Minister of Science should be a “guard” that leads to the role of Britain in the new generation of discovery, regulation, insurance and finance.

Boris Johnson and Rishi Surprise management of Science, Research, Technology and Innovation Minister Mid Norfolk Deputy George Freeman, the need for standards, he said.

“The truth is that there is a very few arrangement area or no regulation area, the launch of commercial and military satellites in the new space race is a free wild West for all of them,” he said.

“Currently there is 40 tons and one million pieces of debris. Ninety -eight percent of the satellites are uninsured. The global commercial area sector is not increasingly dependent on the satellites, the area, 90% of the vehicles are eliminated and there is a rare highway, and rare

Freeman, as the Minister of Space, focused on the leadership of Britain in the field of space arrangement, insurance and finance; In order to set global standards for the sector and to support the global summit of Canada, Japan and Switzerland in the Royal Society of the Royal Society, the UK space sector and the sector partnership were gathered with the UK space sector and Lloyds to create the Sustainability Initiative (ESSİ).

“The idea of ​​not organizing space remains and the creation of the World Space Sustainability Initiative was very simple,” he said. “If you are compatible with England [standards] – If your satallis can be recovered, charging, recyclable – faster licensing, cheaper insurance and access to ESG [environmental, social and governance] Finance. “

Freeman said that markets can be created for innovative UK companies with smart regulation and that Astrogil, a satellite -recycling company, is a base in the UK. The transition to increasing the spectrum bandwidth of the satellite constellations without launching more satellite can also create opportunities.

For a system in which the contractor carries more than one data flow safely for more than one operator, it carries multiple data flows with more than one data flow ”.

Freeman said that England does not have a completely integrated industrial sector and has first class science and technology and innovation. “We are smart satellite production, telemetry, sescomms services and eo Formula One Pit Lane [Earth observation] Applications, ”he said.

However, not only in the field of satellite technology, which will be important. From the crew tasks to Mars, the possibility of lunar mining and even the possibility of creating data centers per month, the opportunities offered by the area are numerous.

Freeman said that the arrangements around the space rash could act as a gate to the rules in other areas.

The deputy explained “slowly developing”. “Let’s say, under space traffic control, you can imagine that you cannot get a starting permission from aviation officials unless you have an operating license.

You can’t get a dump with metal. You cannot perform irregular and non -dangerous nuclear, biological or chemical experiments on the surface of the moon. If you do not have an abstraction license, you cannot dismantle the minerals. So when you start creating a frame, you take a break and stop Rogue actors. “

Freeman added that England is well placed to lead such issues. “Space needs a global regulatory alliance under the leadership of a reliable nation. As a reliable partner, you need a long and distinguished country, a country that believes internationally and is internationally respected.”

“This is a great opportunity for England. We have to take over this.”
