several government initiatives have explored space through studies and launches
but last year was the first in which private entities began to explore it commercially
a new chapter of the space age is expected to begin
To follow the development of the aerospace industry
Brazil has adopted initiatives for its progression
the Brazilian Space Agency (BSA) published two public calls for companies interested in conducting orbital or suborbital launches using the Alcântara Space Centre (ASC) in northeastern Brazil
Amazônia-1 – the country’s first fully designed
tested and operated satellite for observing the Earth – was launched this year from India
the BSA published Ordinance No 698 instituting the Brazilian Space Regulation
The new rules provide for standards regarding
the operator’s licence for space launch activities in Brazilian territory and the concession of launch authorisations by the BSA
Besides aligning Brazilian standards for space activities with internationally accepted rules
the newly published regulation seeks to replace outdated rules
such as the previous regulation on space launch operation authorisation
This article will explore the key points of the new regulation and the trends for the development of space law in Brazil
Besides the specifics that will be further explored
the operator’s licensing and launch authorisation processes share similarities
both may bring restrictions or conditions pertaining national security or foreign policy interests
the qualification procedures may only be carried out by electronic means
considering the inspection of the procedures is an attribution of the BSA
the public authorities may have access to sensitive information of the interested parties
the Brazilian standards for the launch authorisation establish a commitment to keep all commercial information confidential
the confidentiality extends to multiple information obtained as a result of the inspections
and the BSA undertakes not to disclose it to third parties
administrative penalties may be applied if space activities are carried out in disagreement with the applicable rules
Sanctioning procedures must be handled according to the due process of law
temporary suspension or revocation of the appropriate licence or authorisation
The interested parties may also appeal to the president of the BSA from decisions applying penalties or denying the grant or modification of a licence or authorisation
The rules regarding the operator’s licence and the process for its obtainment – from application to issuance and inspection – seek to enable the execution of space activities and launches in Brazilian soil to be carried out by private legal entities
whether individually or by association or consortium
Companies interested in obtaining an operator’s licence
valid for five years and renewable for equal and successive periods
must be headquartered or have representatives in Brazil
and must show evidence of its tax and labour regularity in the country
such companies must prove their ability to perform space launches
as well as qualification of their technical staff
by providing certificates or other documents that enable such verification
The documents presented to the competent authorities shall be authenticated and provided in their original language
along with a sworn translation into Brazilian Portuguese
The documents’ verification will be carried out by a licensing special commission and
after examining the files and writing an opinion on the matter
the procedure will be submitted to the president of the BSA
The licence may be issued up to thirty calendar days after the homologation of a technical note by the commission
Although the operator’s licence enables the execution of space activities and launches
it does not allow the interested party to conduct space launch operations itself
pre- and post-flight land operations and re-entries
a new administrative procedure for an act called launch authorisation must be carried out
and specific rules may apply to such a course of action
The regulation on the launch authorisation may apply for private launch operations: (1) from Brazilian territory carried out by Brazilian companies or foreign companies with representatives in the country; and (2) from other nations carried out by Brazilian companies
The operator’s licence is a condition precedent to the application for and acceptance of a launch authorisation
while the parameters for the authorised launch(es) remain unchanged
The launch itself must be conducted while the operator’s licence is valid
and it is subject to BSA’s control and inspection
the obtainment of an approval of political review is a condition precedent to the issuance of the launch authorisation
for purposes of attesting the lack of risk to Brazilian national security
to international obligations assumed by Brazil and to the interests of the country’s foreign policy
the interested party must submit an application carrying: (1) the model
configuration and description of the vehicles; (2) identification of foreign property of the applicant; and (iii) flight profile
the launch authorisation holder must get insurance covering damage to third parties and to the public launch centre’s infrastructure
The liability for damages arising from the space launch is solely attributed to the authorised party and is governed by the international treaties and conventions signed by Brazil
The operator is responsible for ensuring the public and property security during the launch or re-entry and must comply with the regulatory requirements and the information presented in the application for the launch authorisation
under penalty of revocation of the act or other appropriate measures
The Brazilian regulation also provides for strategies to mitigate the operational risks
establishing safety criteria and risk assessment mechanisms
and subject to the analysis and acceptance by the BSA
the launch authorisation can be transferred to third parties carrying a valid operator’s licence
The receiver must also comply with the authority’s requirements and the duties
obligations and charges assumed by the original holder
It is worth mentioning that the new rules are inspired by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 450 (Launch and Reentry Licensing Requirements) and Part 420 (License to Operate a Launch Site)
the compliance with FAA’s Part 450 means a compliance with the Brazilian regulation on the matter
recent events show Brazil’s commitment to developing its space potential
An important factor in the equation – the existence of modern legal regulation – has been improved
with the new standards for operator’s licences and launch authorisations putting Brazil in a good position in relation to its global peers
Further advances are needed and expected in the future
Besides having legal standards aligned with the best practices around the world
Brazil needs to improve its infrastructure to make space activities attractive
in a country that already hosts the ASC and its advantages regarding geography
We are hopeful that the initial steps on the progression of space law around the globe
will expand even more and create new opportunities for the development of the industry
as this article intends to enable in respect of Brazil
seems to be a first – and important – step in this trend

ShareSaveListsThe Complete List Of The 150 Richest People In BrazilByAnderson Antunes
who was once the 7th richest man in the world
had already started to see his house of cards-like commodities empire fall drastically after his oil company
OGX (now OGPar) failed to supply the amount of oil promised to investors
That ultimately lead to a rapid dumping of the company's shares
he could get up to 10 years in jail for each of the three offenses
featuring beer baron Jorge PauloLemann (Courtesy of Forbes Brasil)
But the wheel of fortune is spinning more quickly than ever in Brazil
another 20 Brazilians made this year's FORBES Brasil list
as they've seen their net worths swell above R$ 1 billion ($427 million)
Twelve of them are members of some of the richest families in Brazil
whose fortunes have been split and listed separately this year
About a half of them are listed as billionaires by FORBES
which only takes into account individual fortunes of $1 billion of higher
The Forbes Brasil list counts billionaires in the local currency
so anyone with R$1 billion makes that list
Beer baron Jorge Paulo Lemann is still the richest person in Brazil
with a net worth pegged by FORBES Brasil at R$49.85 billion ($21.27 billion)
The bulk of Lemann's net worth comes from his investments abroad
especially from companies like beer giant Anheuser Busch-InBev
The Marinho brothers -- Roberto Irineu Marinho, Joao Roberto Marinho and Jose Roberto Marinho -- also kept their title as Brazil's richest family
with a combined net worth of R$ 47.65 ($20.33 billion)
The Marinhos share the control of Latin America's largest media empire
which was founded in 1925 by their grandfather Irineu Marinho but built into what it is today by their father
FORBES Brasil's methodology to compile its list of the richest Brazilians consists of estimates that take into account the stock prices of listed companies or
in the case of privately held corporations
valuations based on revenues or profits coupled with price-to-revenues or price-to-earnings ratios of similar public companies
although some people do provide private balance sheet information
which helps make the list the most precise and realistic analysis of Brazil's richest people
Following is the full list of The 150 Richest Brazilians
according to FORBES Brasil (net worths were converted to US dollars from Brazilian reals based on currency exchange rates from Wednesday September 17; US$ 1 = R$ 2.34):
