National space legislation is also in the works. This law will target satellite operators and be grounded on existing guidelines for space activities issued in 2024, said NSAS chief strategy and policy officer Tiana Desker.<\/p>\n
“The focus is on space safety and space sustainability. Space safety to, for example, manage the collision risks given that space is increasingly congested. And space sustainability to ensure responsible practices with regard to avoiding creation of space debris,” she said.<\/p>\n
For example, the law could require satellite operators to have a proper plan for deorbiting a satellite, as a good practice for space sustainability.<\/p>\n
This could involve requiring the satellite to be launched into a “low enough orbit that it would naturally decay and come down”, said Ms Desker.<\/p>\n
There are also plans for a “national registry of Singapore space objects, which is in line with international practice”, she added.<\/p>\n
Singapore’s space sector currently employs about 2,000 professionals across 70 space companies.<\/p>\n
As the sector develops, it can draw talent from among mechanical, electrical and systems engineers, as well as specialists in artificial intelligence and across the sciences, said NSAS deputy chief executive and chief industry and partnerships officer Jonathan Hung.<\/p>\n
Professionals with expertise in sectors where there are use cases, such as urban planning, are also needed to connect insights from satellite technology to their specific fields, he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
