A New Webinar from Via Satellite
May 26, 2010
1:00pm ET
Invite your entire staff to attend at one low price, $269 per location. Each registration comes with access to the archived version of the program for 1-year.
Overview
At the end of 2009, U.S. Congress extended government indemnification to help protect U.S. commercial launch services providers against third-party liability claims resulting from launch activities licensed by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for an additional three years.
Join Via Satellite and its expert panel of representatives from both the government and commercial sector to create an open discussion on the effects of this policy.
This important Webcast will address the key points including:
- Will the government's plan increase the United States' role in launching commercial satellites as it competes with international service providers?
- Does indemnification provide a level playing field in the global space launch market?
- What are the consequences of eliminating U.S. commercial space launch indemnification?
- What is the impact of this extension and how can U.S. commercial launchers use this three-year window to capitalize on future business opportunities.
