With this, the Union has staked a claim and secured its position as a technology-robust government stakeholder in space at regional European state level. The EU has crafted and developed its newer competences brought in under the well-known umbrella of Article 189 TFEU in the fields of European space research, European space programmes and European space policy. More recently, defence-related aspects have been included within its strategic space portfolio, along with moves for reforming e-communication law and coordinating frequency allocations and spectrum management at EU level.<\/p>\n\n<p>In short: The European Union has developed the necessary legal instruments to procure and operate the level and quality of satellite-based operations concomitant with that required to govern and manage modern civil society. For a community of states that initially appeared somewhat constrained by the Lisbon Treaty as regards in its space activities, its space legacy is impressive, as it that of its approach to data.<\/p>\n\n<p>The constitutional restrictions of Article 189(4) TFEU nevertheless remain. With increasing demands in the international arena for further space exploration, and challenging issues such as an increased reliance on AI and the ethics thereof, the sustainability of Planet Earth and Outer space, planetary resources mining, the subject of space activities in the EU, along with new forms of bilateral and multilateral declarations at international level, lends itself to closer legal and policy analysis. This applies all the more so, in times where private capital investment in the sector goes hand in hand with a marked visible presence of privately funded space corporations, whilst national state economies are flailing. As demand for commercially-operated space-based services such as satellite broadband increases, so do the prospects for life off earth. With this, the era of successor and further space stations beyond the International Space Station, and ILRS attract attention.<\/p>\n\n<p>The key note lecture addresses the main legal issues relating to the activities of the EU in the space sector from a constitutional and technological perspective, with regard to its own programmes, and the status of the EU within international community. <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list list-highlighted list-highlighted--architectural\"><li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h4 class=\"title text-18 font-bold has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"16-00-16-15\"\n    >\n 16.00 &#8211;
