Outer Space Act 1986 : Issue of Licence by Hong Kong
ASK Wong.
WW
Thank you for your letter of 6 September to our
I understand our Economic Services Branch of the Government Secretariat is finalizing a proposal on Hong Kong- based licensing regime. This will probably be submitted shortly.
I confirm that before the regime is agreed, you will be fully consulted on any issue of licence. There are two such developments :-
AsiaSat 2
APSTAR 1
AsiaSat plans to launch AsiaSat-2 in Jan 1995 and has just submitted an application. Several missing details are being provided by AsiaSat. I would forward a copy of the submission to you as soon as the details are received. .
APT Satellite Company Limited plans to launch APSTAR 1 in June 1994. APT intends to register the satellite through China but the TT&C station will be located in Hong Kong. This proposal gives rise to some complication. I have raised the matter with TP 2 OF DTI (copy of correspondence is attached) A decision should be made on the way forward.
