Calendar year 2016 proved to be another eventful one for the aerospace industry. The Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act, signed by President Barack Obama in late 2015, energized and provided much-needed legal clarity for the commercial space industry. The act provides for statutory rights to obtain space resources for exploration and utilization, adds a new category "government astronauts," for future commercial launches of NASA crew; establishes exclusive federal jurisdiction for third-party and spaceflight-participant lawsuits for injuries; and mandates a dozen reports and studies on a variety of topics in advance of future policy discussions, including space traffic management, voluntary consensus standards and the status of remote-sensing licenses. Here, Blount and Hearsey discuss several changes in aerospace.
