In this episode of the Space Policy Pioneers Podcast, host Andy Williams, Director of Science in Space, interviews space policy expert Hjalte Osborn Frandsen. They discuss different career paths in space policy, the skills needed for success, and delve into the question of whether pursuing a PhD in the field is necessary. Hjalte shares his journey from a legal and consulting background into the space policy research field and his current work on space traffic management. They also discuss the challenges in addressing the rapid increase in space traffic, especially in low Earth orbit, and the potential future of this segment of policy, but also where the industry is heading and its need for a diverse range of professionals from various disciplines. Bio: After obtaining M.Sc. in International Law, Economics and Management and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from the University of Copenhagen, Hjalte spent a decade working as a management consultant at the nexus of technological change, sustainability, and governance. Driven by a deep-seated passion for space law and policy, Hjalte re-entered academia three years ago, embarking on a Ph.D. journey in the field of Space Law & Policy. Hjalte's Ph.D. project explores avenues for better governance of the increasingly congested and contested region of Low Earth Orbit. https://www.linkedin.com/in/hjalteosbornfrandsen/ Disclaimer: All guests are talking in their personal capacity and are not representing any official position of their former or current employing organization.

Air Law is something that all pilots must have some knowledge of or they wouldn't be awarded a licence or certificate… it's required knowledge. Having said that, it's a long way from being simple and even a qualified Air Transport pilot will only have scratched the surface. In the Air Force, one might have assumed that things would have been pretty tight and mutiny unheard of. Let me set you straight!

At a press conference held on August 26th, Albany County Legislator Mert Simpson discussed the Albany County Clean Air Law. The lawmaker compared the fight against waste burning to the fights against the Albany New York Solid Waste Energy Recovery System plant, also known as the ANSWERS plant, back in the 1980s. The ANSWERS plant was a garbage incinerator in Sheridan Hollow that was notorious for toxic emissions. The plant was shut down in 1984 by executive order from then-governor Mario Cuomo, after a change in wind pattern blew the emissions over the governor's mansion. Hear Legislator Simpson discuss why he is urging County Executive Dan McCoy to sign the Albany County Clean Air Law, which would prohibit the burning of tires, AFFF, plastics, electronic waste, low-level radioactive waste, pharmaceutical waste, and any other new waste streams. It would also prohibit the construction of new waste facilities in Albany County.

Lecture summary: There are currently two important issues confronting the international space community. Does international space legislation permit the digging of resources from celestial bodies? And: how to get rid of the enormous amount of space junk that currently populates at interesting orbit and threaten space activities? The lecture will try to give answers to these problems by highlighting the current state of affairs with regard to space legislation which is a mix of international treaty law and what some people call “soft” law.

This series called Plane Crash Diaries is really about how safe aviation has become. This sounds like a contradiction, but its through the experience of more than a century of commercial aviation that experts have been able to build an extremely safe sector in the 21st Century. Decades of improving safety and regulations as well as operating procedures have led to a form of transport that is now regarded as crucial to the development of the world economy. There are more than 2,000 airlines operating more than 23,000 aircraft at 3,700 airports around the world. These airlines serve a total of more than 3.5 billion passengers a year or about 96,000 passengers a day. The commercial aircraft industry has been growing at 5% per year over the past 30 years and is expected to double over the next decade. This is success in anyone’s book. With all those planes flying about, safety is paramount and has been since the early days of aviation. Consider how many aircraft are flying compared to the number of incidents and you’ll agree that aviation is surely one of the safest methods of getting around in the modern world. But it wasn’t always like that. Each accident that has taken place since the first heavier than aircraft commercial aviation began after the First World War has led to improved standards. So in this series we’ll track these accidents from across the one hundred years since the first was logged. That was on July 21st 1919 when a GoodYear blimp the Wingfoot Express, crashed into the Illinois Trust and Savings Building in Chicago. Thirteen people died – three of the five on board the dirigible and ten others on the ground. The accident led to new regulations eventually about how high aircraft should fly above congested city centres. As a pilot I have to follow these to this day even here in South Africa where Air Law states that no Central Business District may be overflown without consent from the Civil Aviation Authority.
