3.11.3.1 Authorisation

As noted, New Zealand’s Space Activities Act has adopted a system similar to the Australian Space Activities Act, namely, that different activities have separate licences. This subparagraph will discuss the different licences under the Act. However, the basic principle underlying the licencing regime is that no activities are to be conducted unless the proper licence has been granted.

Conducting such a launch without a licence is prohibited.925 The licence is not limited to one specific launch vehicle; rather it can apply to multiple launches as long as it concerns the same type of launch vehicle and same launch facility/vehicle.926 The basic conditions to be granted a launch licence have been set out in the Act, namely:927 The applicant has to be technically capable of conducting a safe launch.
