    This paper analyzes the 12 countries’ national space legislation with an emphasis on space debris mitigation and within the framework of the National Space Legislation Initiative (NSLI) launched under the Asia Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF) in 2019. NSLI commenced its second phase in 2021 and successfully compiled its second report for submission to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) in 2023. This paper introduces the status of national space legislation in the Asia-Pacific countries based on the submitted NSLI second report while providing the authors’ insight into the trends. The issues related to authorization and supervision are given particular focus in the introduction. The paper also provides policy implications in terms of the region’s further development of national space laws and regulations.
