WELLINGTON (Reuters) - 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 New Zealand interests."
