This proclamation formally triggers the new space activity rules.\n- Anyone operating in the Australian space sector (satellite operators, launch providers) needed to comply with the amended rules from this date onwards.\n\n**Key details:**\n- Signed by Governor-General Peter Hollingworth on 27 November 2002\n- Issued under *subsection 2(1)* of the Act (the standard \"commencement\" clause found in most legislation)\n- Gives only four days' notice before the changes take effect"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/space-activities-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-27-11-2002","history":"/api/acts/space-activities-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-27-11-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/space-activities-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-27-11-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/space-activities-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-27-11-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/space-activities-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-27-11-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/space-activities-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-27-11-2002/documents"}}
