The Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss announced the new space export sanctions on Wednesday (March 9) alongside deeper sanctions related to aviation, including new powers to detain Russian aircraft. The space-related sanctions feature a “ban on the export of aviation and space-related goods and technology, including technical assistance”.
The space export ban includes all related services, including insurance or reinsurance services.
