6 Application of Act outside Australia — foreign space objects operating in frequency range mentioned in class licence

The Act applies outside Australia in relation to a foreign space object if: (a) the foreign space object is owned, controlled or operated by or for a corporation mentioned in column 2 of an item in Schedule 1; and (b) a space station on the foreign space object is operating in a frequency range mentioned in paragraph 8(a) or (b) of the class licence to transmit radio emissions to, or receive radio emissions from, a station inside Australia.

Note: Under section 5 of the Act, a foreign space object is defined to mean a space object (also defined in section 5 of the Act) that is not an Australian space object. An Australian space object is defined in section 5 to mean a space object that the ACMA, by legislative instrument, determines to be an Australian space object for the purposes of the Act (see the Radiocommunications (Australian Space Objects) Determination 2025).
