ESG, and the link to investment and even insurance decisions, could be the mechanism that forces the change in the approach of the space industry.<\/p>\n<p>The LTS guidelines state: that \u201cIn supervising space activities of non-governmental entities, states should ensure that entities under their jurisdiction and\/or control that conduct outer space activities have the appropriate structures and procedures for planning and conducting space activities in a manner that supports the objective of enhancing the long-term sustainability of outer space activities, and that they have the means to comply with relevant national and international regulatory frameworks, requirements, policies and processes in this regard\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The LTS guidelines recognize the need for regulators to balance government risk, safety, security and sustainable use and access to space, against the aim of encouraging commercialization, innovation and growth in the sector. Questions derived from the LTS guidelines that regulators, in relation to launch and in-orbit licensing, should be considering include:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tCan the applicant safely conduct the launch into orbit of the proposed vehicle and associated payload\/platform? For example, does the applicant understand the hazards involved and evidence how launch and in-orbit operations will be performed safely and sustainably? <\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tOperational considerations for liability risk. For example, what is the possibility of encountering another object, the probability of a collision occurring and the likelihood of a resulting damage claim?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tOperational considerations for in orbit phase assessment. For example, the following should be assessed:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tThe ejection phase \u2013 ejection of platforms from a launch vehicle;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tOrbit-raising phase \u2013 criteria to initiate the orbit-raising phase; who commands and monitors the orbit-raising; how is it performed;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tConstellation maintenance and the commanding and monitoring of satellites; and<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bee0b05832;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bee0b05832 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bee0b05833').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bee0b05833'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tPlanned and unplanned disposal \u2013 process\/mechanism for disposal and conjunction management.<\/p>\n<p>For satellite and space companies wishing to make themselves more attractive for investment, the LTS guidelines offer a tangible and ready reference point for at least part of their ESG strategy. The U.K. government\u2019s promotion of investment in the U.K.\u2019s space economy and the U.K.\u2019s responsible approach to space evidenced by its support of the LTS guidelines are well aligned and the investment needs of companies can therefore be a mutually supportive mechanism for driving the success of the LTS guidelines in the U.K. by reason of their fit with companies\u2019 investor ESG interest.<\/p>\n<p>The synergy between the UN\u2019s international direction to regulators through the LTS guidelines and ESG motivation for commercial companies and investors appears to be well-aligned. This offers welcome momentum for a \u201crace to the top\u201d for regulators, commercial operators, and investors alike.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Hilton, CEO of GlobalTrust Ltd., said, \u201cESG is a rapidly growing initiative that crosses industries and aims to force meaningful change. Whilst we largely think about ESG activities being focused on the Earth\u2019s surface, it\u2019s just as important to take care of the area surrounding our planet. It is, after all, where we place satellites that enable so many things to operate in our everyday lives. It is a critical area that must be protected.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>National regulators competing at international level to attract high-tech satellite and space investment should deploy good forward-looking and enabling regulation for companies seeking favorable bases from which to license their operations. Regulators successfully implementing the LTS guidelines can engender a stamp of approval that effectively supports the commercial sector and aligns with its commercial aims by serving and supporting companies\u2019 and  their investors\u2019 ESG reporting needs. <strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\"><\/em><em class=\"Annotation
