Summary

This Regulation establishes robust, harmonized rules for the Union space sector, ensuring safety, resilience, and environmental sustainability through the operation of space-based infrastructure. It mandates that operators established in the Union and international organizations must register their activities and obtain a Union Space Label, which grants the right to use space resources freely. These requirements apply equally to space activities in third countries and cover core areas such as collision avoidance services in orbit traffic, as well as governance and enforcement mechanisms to protect space activities from unauthorized interference. Furthermore, the Regulation outlines mandatory authorisation, registration, and supervision processes for both national and international service providers, ensuring that all sector members are held accountable and that coverage for space operations is maintained without gaps. By setting clear standards for data generation, the system ensures high common levels of safety and sustainability for space services and infrastructure, thereby supporting the broader goals of NIS 2 compliance and international space cooperation.
