Pierre Reuter, office managing partner of Hogan Lovells
Luxembourg, interviews Scot Anderson about the recent business and
legal cooperation between the USA and Luxembourg regarding space
activities.
Pierre Reuter: Scot, you are the global head of
energy and natural resources of Hogan Lovells located in Denver and
you have a focus on space mining. Can you tell Delano's readers
about the US-Luxembourg cooperation on space activities?
Scot Anderson: On 10 May 2019, the United
States and Luxembourg signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
relating to cooperation on space-related activities and issues. The
MOU is potentially quite significant for businesses, research
institutions, and policymakers interested in space activities, and
particularly, in the utilization of space resources.
