The Department for Transport is responsible for ensuring the Space Industry Act and Space Industry Regulations continue to provide a modern legal framework that is internationally competitive and will support innovation and growth in the UK space sector. It will ensure that new spaceflight activities regulated under these provisions by the Civil Aviation Authority are safe and provide the right opportunities for industry. In addition, the Department for Transport is responsible for co-ordinating work to use space technology to modernise and transform the UK’s transport system under the Strategy’s Ten Point Plan.
