Introduction

The UAE has recently been making strides in the area of space exploration. The country first saw the introduction of its space agency in the year 2014; and last year, a satellite from the UAE was successfully launched into space.

UAE also has set high aspirations for the future, including sending a probe to Mars by 2021 and building a settlement there by 2117. However, as with anything new, regulations will be required to cover all aspects relating to such activities.

The UAE is currently looking at a regulation which is in the draft phase which will restrict the launching of spacecraft or satellites of any kind to the space agency alone.
