Laura Montgomery - US Space Law Regulations - Cold Star Project S02E14

Listen Later

Space lawyer and scifi writer Laura Montgomery is on the Cold Star Project, and we're digging into how Congress, US agencies and operators work to create and enforce space regulations.  


With host Jason Kanigan, we discuss: 

  • the basics of how space law works in the US and for US citizens abroad  
  • how Laura's FAA experience built and impacted her approach to space law 
  • the question of sovereignty in space law ("They didn't say I couldn't so I can"; OST Article 1 vs Article 2)  
  • the way regulatory and treaty issues can impact space law  
  • how human space flight is regulated in the United States of America  
  • how Laura's space law practice has influenced her science fiction writing.  


    • Laura Montgomery is Proprietor of Ground Based Space Matters, Adjunct Professor of space law at Catholic University's Columbus School of Law, a former manager FAA space law branch (3 years) and senior attorney for commercial space transportation (18 years).
