Welcome to Pulsar, a blog dedicated to the fascinating and dynamic realm of space law, investment and governance.

As humanity continues to push the boundaries of space exploration, the need for a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework has never been more crucial. This blog aims to provide a platform for inter- and trans-disciplinary discussions, critical analysis, and thought-provoking insights on this rapidly developing field.

As we embark on this journey to explore the legal and governance aspects of outer space, Pulsar will feature a diverse array of content, including:

Analyses are mid-length, peer reviewed articles (2000 to 4000 words) focusing on cutting-edge research, legal and interdisciplinary theories, and innovative solutions to address the challenges posed by the growing commercialization and militarization of space. Articles will also explore topics such as property rights in space, liability for space debris, and the regulation of commercial space activities from the perspective of international and national legal spheres.

Blogposts are short, peer-reviewed articles (no more than 2000 words) which provide concise, engaging, and informative posts on the latest news and trends in the world of space law and governance. Our blog posts will cover a wide range of topics, from new legislation and treaties to emerging challenges and controversies.

Interviews provide exclusive insights from leading experts, policymakers, and industry professionals, as they share their perspectives and experiences on the most pressing issues in space law and governance. Our interviews will shed light on the challenges, opportunities, and future trajectories of this burgeoning field.

Pulsars are neutron stars, rotating with incredible speed and mind-boggling precision — they are dubbed “cosmic lighthouses”. This is why we call our platform Pulsar, in the hope that it provides guidance to those who seek to understand and navigate the legal and policy aspects of this vast, fast-paced and ever-expanding new frontier. We recognize that regulation, use, and exploration of outer space is an intricate web of legal, political, economic, and technological considerations. As we reach for the stars, the need to establish a robust, ethical, and equitable system of laws and norms becomes increasingly critical. Pulsar will serve as a hub for the exchange of ideas and knowledge, fostering a vibrant community of individuals passionate about the future of space exploration and the legal frameworks that will shape it.

We are very excited to embark upon this journey, and we encourage you to be a part of it. You can submit your contributions via gunes.unuvar@alphapersei.com, and reach out for any inquiries regarding the blog — and be sure to keep an eye on this space.

Sic itur ad astra.
