  • New Zealand will have in place by July legislation regulating operators of ground-based space infrastructure, aimed at deterring foreign interference, the country's Space Minister Judith Collins said. The new regulations, which were flagged at the end of 2024, come after New Zealand's intelligence service raised concerns last September that some foreign entities had tried to establish space infrastructure, which would have "assisted foreign military activity that could have harmed Zealand interests." Collins said in a statement that the regulatory regime will start in July and will deter foreign interference in Zealand's infrastructure that carry out tracking and control of spacecraft, space surveillance and the transfer of data to and from spacecraft.

New Zealand is set to introduce new regulations for space-related infrastructure, aiming to enhance safety and environmental protection. The proposed rules, announced by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, will cover the management and operation of facilities like launch sites and ground control stations. These regulations are part of a broader effort to support the growing space industry while ensuring that activities are conducted responsibly. The public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft regulations before they are finalized.
