New Zealand Boosts Space Launch Cap from 100 to 1000 for Industry Growth

3 hours ago | 41 views

New Zealand has increased the permitted number of space launches from 100 to 1000 to support the rapid growth of its space and advanced aviation sectors, which are significant contributors to the economy. This change follows a regulatory review that found low environmental risks for up to 1000 launches and provides long-term certainty for industry planning until at least 2050. The government aims to double the size of these sectors by 2030, ensuring continued innovation and investment while maintaining clear environmental standards.
