South Africa wants to create rules and two new agencies to regulate satellites and rocket launches

• South Africa will establish two new agencies, the National Office for Outer Space Activities (NOOSA) and the South African Space Regulatory Authority (SASRA), to regulate satellites and rocket launches.
• The agencies will govern space activities conducted in South Africa, including the launch of objects into space, suborbital vehicles, in-orbit operations, and re-entry, launch sites, and operations at facilities in space.
• The creation of the agencies is expected to promote responsible space activities, attract investment, and ensure the long-term sustainability of outer space.
