Exclusive: A Review of Canada’s Remote Sensing Law Recommends Creating a New General Outer Space Act

The Institute of Air and Space Law at McGill University has completed a mandated independent review of the Remote Sensing Space Systems Act and in its findings they conclude that while the "Act was appropriate and useful at the time of its enactment in 2005, the players, activities, technology and internationalization of remote sensing activities have since changed significantly and outgrown the confines of the Act." As part of its recommendations the report states Canada should implement a new General Outer Space Act.
