For companies developing technology for space, regulatory planning can’t wait until launch is around the corner.
Anne Cortez, CEO of Washington Federal Strategies, recently joined Lisa Dreher on the Tech & Space Leaders Show to discuss how licensing and regulatory requirements shape the path from product development to launch.
Take a listen to learn how regulatory planning that is started well ahead of the integration date helps avoid issues that put missions at risk, such as spectrum selection, licensing timelines, orbital debris requirements, and incomplete technical documentation.
The discussion also explores recent changes within federal agencies, common misconceptions about the licensing process, and why regulatory strategy should be incorporated into a company’s business and engineering plans from the beginning.
For space technology companies, defense contractors, engineers, and other innovators navigating federal requirements, the conversation offers practical guidance for reducing regulatory surprises and keeping projects moving toward launch.
