The Dawn of National Space Legislation in Central Europe and the New Act on Space Activities in the Slovak Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

On 28th November 2024, the Parliament of the Slovak Republic adopted a new Act on the Regulation of Space Activities (the Space Act). Subsequently, the newly enacted Space Act entered into force on 1st February 2025 and established a new framework for space activities in Europe. Through this adoption, the Slovak Republic has joined a growing number of countries in establishing national space legislation to address challenges arising from the New Space Era (also known as Space 4.0). The newly adopted Slovak Space Act provides rules for the authorisation of space activities, registration of space objects, liability and insurance, among other areas. Through this legislation, the Slovak Republic aims to establish a foundation for strengthening its space economy, providing transparent and predictable rules for potential space investors. Reflecting the fact that other states of Central Europe are currently envisaging the adoption of their national space legislation, this article aims to analyse to what extent the new Slovak Space Act may be illustrative. Thus, the article firstly outlines major provisions of the new Slovak Space Act and explains them in a comparative perspective. Secondly, the significant shortcomings of the newly adopted Slovak Space Act are being analysed. In this respect, the article argues that these shortcomings may be avoided in the prospective national space legislation of other Central European countries by drawing on examples from existing national space acts in Europe
