E-mail: [email protected] https//orcid.org/0000-0002-7458-1595 Anna Vasina2 Graduate student at the Public Law Research Institute, Hangzhou Pendant Technology Co. Ltd (Zhejiang, China). E-mail: [email protected] https//orcid.org/0000-0003-2280-8556 In the article, we have determined that China is a leading, but the only space state that does not have a special space law. These activities are governed by the international norms-principles, international treaties and by-laws of the government. We consider that such a procedure for regulating legal relations in the space industry is illogical. We have revealed the contours of the future space law of China in the article. We’ve noted that the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on Space Cooperation with Luxembourg will have a positive impact on the exploration and utilization of mineral resources from the Moon and asteroids by Chinese space companies. At the same time, we have concluded that without the adoption of a special space law, foreign investments in the Chinese space industry and space tourism will be constrained. Keywords: White paper, space, law, normative legal acts, legislation.

    Letter Appearing in the Guardian Newspaper from All Heads Of

    This letter appeared in the Guardian on 4 June from all Heads of Colleges Dear Sir, The events in the US dramatise the consequences of allowing deeply embedded racist attitudes to be subject to too little challenge. Conscious and unconscious racial bias, and inaction in addressing them, remain prevalent across many institutions. We write in a personal capacity as heads of Oxford Colleges to reassert our belief in the need to promote, protect and advance equal dignity and respect, diversity of thought, good race relations, tolerance and multi culturalism in our institutions and the world. We acknowledge the role that education can play in building racial equality and fair inclusion of black voices and perspectives in society. We recognise and regret that, for black members of our community, the unfolding crisis together with the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on their communities has caused them particular anxiety, anger and pain. We stand with them during these difficult moments with hope that, through the global mobilisation of many against these injustices, through education, discussion, and peaceful protest, we may work together towards a world free of systemic racism and discrimination.

    Small Launchers in a Pandemic World - 2021 Edition of the Annual Industry Survey

    SSC21- IV-07 Small Launchers in a Pandemic World - 2021 Edition of the Annual Industry Survey Carlos Niederstrasser Northrop Grumman Corporation 45101 Warp Drive, Dulles, VA 20166 USA; +1.703.406.5504 [email protected] ABSTRACT Even with the challenges posed by the world-wide COVID pandemic, small vehicle "Launch Fever" has not abated. In 2015 we first presented this survey at the AIAA/USU Conference on Small Satellites1, and we identified twenty small launch vehicles under development. By mid-2021 ten vehicles in this class were operational, 48 were identified under development, and a staggering 43 more were potential new entrants. Some are spurred by renewed government investment in space, such as what we see in the U.K. Others are new commercial entries from unexpected markets such as China. All are inspired by the success of SpaceX and the desire to capitalize on the perceived demand caused by the mega constellations. In this paper we present an overview of the small launch vehicles under development today. When available, we compare their capabilities, stated mission goals, cost and funding sources, and their publicized testing progress. We also review the growing number of entrants that have dropped out since we first started this report. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, one system became operational in the past 12 months and two or three more systems hope to achieve their first successful launch in 2021. There is evidence that this could be the year when the small launch market finally becomes saturated; however, expectations continue to be high and many new entrants hope that there is room for more providers.
