T-Minus Guest

Bailey Reichelt from Aegis Space Law and Matthew Linton from Linton Space Law bring us Space Law FAQs.

Note that the BIS Affiliates Rule discussed in the Space Law FAQ segment has undergone changes in enforcement status due to geopolitical discussions since the episode was recorded. While not being actively enforced for one year, according to the Trump administration, it is still a law, and enforcement can resume at any point. For more information on the President's statement announcing a one-year hold on enforcement, please check out this article: US Is ‘Suspending’ BIS 50% Rule for a Year, Bessent Says, After China Trade Talks- Kharon
