New Zealand boosts space launch limit to 1,000 annually to boost economy and industry, with low environmental risk and long-term regulatory clarity.
New Zealand has raised its annual space launch limit from 100 to 1,000 to support growing space and advanced aviation industries, following a review that found low environmental risk in its Exclusive Economic Zone.
The change, effective ahead of the 2026 cap being reached, removes the need for costly marine consents per launch and provides long-term regulatory certainty.
The space sector contributed $2.47 billion to the economy in 2024, a 48% rise from 2019, with advanced aviation adding $480 million.
The government aims to double the combined sector size by 2030, citing evidence-based policy and environmental safeguards.
