German Space Act: industry pushes back on Bundeswehr access rights
Original: German Space Act: Industry criticizes potential Bundeswehr access rights
Germany's planned Space Act is drawing criticism from industry over provisions that could give the Bundeswehr access rights to private space infrastructure. Companies warn the proposed powers could deter investment and complicate commercial operations in orbit, while supporters argue the military needs legal tools to protect critical space assets. The debate is part of Berlin's broader effort to regulate satellite and space activities as security concerns grow.
Why now: Draft legislation handing the German military potential access to private space systems is newly public, prompting industry objections.
