The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of
the United Kingdom (UK) has released an extensive report on the
regulation of suborbital flights, which forms part of the country's
efforts to attract operations of suborbital vehicles to its
territory. The report contains a thorough analysis of the regulatory
landscape and makes very interesting recommendations. Since
spaceflight operations are expected to start in 2018, the report
recommends that the short-term regulatory framework should be in
place at least one year before.
