Commonwealth Numbered Acts

SPACE ACTIVITIES ACT 1998 No. 123, 1998 - SECT 42

(a) a space object is launched, or is proposed to be launched, from a launch facility outside Australia; and

(b) in connection with that launch, a space object is proposed to be returned to an area or place within Australia.

Note: The returning space object need not be the same as the space object launched. For example, a launch vehicle could carry a payload into outer space and return without it, or even collect a different payload from outer space and return that to Earth.
