Satellite Communications

The United Kingdom Outer Space Act 1986 (Hong Kong) Order 1990 was
localised to become the Outer Space Ordinance. It provides the licensing
framework for launching satellites and operating space objects in outer
space.

Two companies incorporated in Hong Kong have been granted licences
under the Outer Space Ordinance. APT Satellite Company Limited (APT)
successfully launched its third satellite, APSTAR-IIR, in October.
