UN registration
UN registrationREGISTERED by BY
Registration documentST/SG/SER.E/664
Registration metadata as reproduced in GCAT from the UN Register (ST/SG/SER.E and A/AC.105/INF series). Registration is a self-assertion by the state of registry; under Registration Convention Art. II a state of registry must be a launching state.
Launching State attributionJOINT & SEVERAL
A State qualifies if it launches, procures the launch, or the launch occurs from its territory or facility. Status is fixed at launch and does not transfer with the operator.

3 States qualify as launching States for this object on different limbs. A State qualifies if it launches, procures the launching, or the launch is from its territory or facility — more than one State can qualify for one object, and launching States are jointly and severally liable (Liability Convention Art. V). Launching-State status is fixed at launch and does not transfer when operators change. Tier 4 claims are inferred from owner nationality and are the weakest: rideshare procurement through integrators is genuinely contestable.
